Abstract
Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) operate under challenging conditions, such as maintaining message latency and the reliability of data transmission and maximizing the battery life of sensor nodes. The aim of this study is to propose a fuzzy logic algorithm for solving these issues, which are difficult to address with traditional techniques. The idea, in this study, is to employ a fuzzy logic scheme to optimize energy consumption and minimize packet drops. We demonstrated how fuzzy logic can be used to tackle this specific communication problem with minimal computational complexity. In this context, the implementation of a fuzzy logic in the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism is achieved through filling the queue length and the traffic rate at each node. Through simulations, we show that our proposed technique has a better performance in terms of energy consumption compared to the basic implementation of CSMA/CA.
