Abstract

This paper will present several research results evaluating the performance of ContikiMAC and XMAC protocols in data collection application with the RPL routing protocol. Simulation results show that ContikiMAC protocol gets better efficiency compared with XMAC protocol in both successful data delivery ratio and average energy consumption in the network. ContikiMAC protocol also performs well in high-density network condition. Meanwhile, successful data delivery ratio of XMAC protocol significantly reduced when the network density increases. The evaluating simulation results in this paper are an important basis for scientists to continue developing applications for wireless sensor networks in the future.
