Adaptive Duty Cycle MAC Protocol of Low Energy WSN for Monitoring Underground Pipelines

In this paper, a new solution based on wireless sensor network is introduced to provide low cost and low energy monitoring for underground pipelines. We propose an adaptive duty-cycle MAC protocol based on Wake-on-Radio called WoR-MAC. Simulation experiments have been conducted to validate the outstanding performance compared with other duty-cycle based energy-efficient MAC protocols in terms of energy consumption and average end-to-end latency.
