Abstract

Network congestion occurs when the offered traffic load exceeds the available capacity of the network. In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), congestion causes packet loss and degrades the overall channel quality, which leads to excessive energy consumption of the node to retrieve the packets. Therefore, congestion control (CC) is necessary to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings to enhance the lifetime of the network. In this chapter, a game theory-based Hybrid Medium Access Control (GH-MAC) protocol is suggested to reduce the energy consumption of the nodes. GH-MAC is combined with Game-based energy-Efficient Time Division Multiple Access (G-ETDMA) protocol for intracluster communication between the cluster members to head node whereas Game theory-based nanoMAC (G-nanoMAC) protocol is used for intercluster communication between the head nodes. Performance of GH-MAC protocol is evaluated in terms of energy consumption, delay, and it is compared with conventional MAC schemes. The result thus obtained using GH-MAC protocol shows that the energy consumption is enormously reduced and thereby the lifetime of the sensor network is enhanced.
