The primary goal of this research is to investigate the energy efficiency improvement methods in MAC protocol design for event-driven wireless sensor networks (WSN). Energy efficiency is essential to wireless sensor networks, while latency and reliability are critical in event-driven applications. The key challenge is to minimize the energy consumption without jeopardizing latency and reliability requirements of various applications. Typical event-driven applications consist of both regular monitoring period and event reporting period, the traffic loads of which are quite different. To the best of our knowledge, no existing results in the literature can optimize the energy efficiency simultaneously for these two different traffic loads. In this paper, the characteristics of event-driven sensor network applications will be studied, and specific requirements will be provided.
