Keeping a small time window (the listen period) is a challenging task, and thus requires appropriate tailoring of duty cycle so as not to compromise network performance. In this work, we explore an adaptive duty cycle mechanism for scheduling a node to sleep mode using node density. A forwarding candidate assesses its vicinity and adaptively adjusts its duty cycle. We show via simulation that the adaptive duty cycle mechanism can reduce the energy usage and prolong the network lifetime for the data delivery toward the sink. © 2011 IEEE. date: 2011 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84857813499&doi=10.1109%2fAPCC.2011.6152791&partnerID=40&md5=58dd6e8de5a68a69e6e076d00670bfab id_number: 10.1109/APCC.2011.6152791 full_text_status: none publication: 17th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications, APCC 2011 place_of_pub: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah pagerange: 127-132 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781457703881 citation: Awang, A. and Lagrange, X. and Ros, D.
