Abstract(in English) An energy-efficient and decentralized MAC protocol is necessary for sensor networks which consist of many nodes whose capacity of battery, memory and CPU power is very restricted. There is a possibility of wasting energy by retransmissions caused by collisions when packets are transmitted at the same time and backoff control in a contention-based access method as CSMA/CA. In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol that reduces the collision. When a node wants to send data packets, sending or receiving nodes reserve transmission or receiving time slots based on information in control packets from neighbor nodes. We also evaluate our proposal MAC protocol by simulation.
