Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is a field which has gained much importance in the past decade. WSN contain sensor nodes which are battery powered and hence reducing energy consumption is the most challenging issue in such systems. One important method to reduce energy consumption in WSN is to do cross layer optimization. Cross layer design can be between different layers of the OSI model. This paper is a survey on cross layer optimization involving Sensor-MAC (S-MAC).
Keywords: Cross Layer Optimization, Energy Conservation, Sensor-MAC (S-MAC), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN).
Scope of the Article: WSN
