Abstract(in English) In Wireless Sensor Networks, sensor node's radio module is the major energy consumer. MAC layer controls the radio module. There are many of MAC protocols for reducing energy consumption of the sensor nodes. In recent works, the most basic idea for reducing dutycycle is turning sensor nodes' radio modules on periodically and listening the channel for brief time. The performance of MAC protocol depends on the period of turning the radio module on. In this paper, we present SlowMAC which is a MAC protocol assuming the monitoring applications that don't require the low latency wireless communication. SlowMAC enables us to reduce dutycycle without big drop of packet delivery ratio. Our experiment show SlowMAC reduced dutycycle 84.9% compared with existing MAC protocol implementation in the best case.
