Abstract
The Media Access Control (MAC) protocol has been adopted and functioned in many network applications to share data between network users. However, the chief problem in this protocol is collision occurring because the MAC design network has several source hubs that do not acknowledge whether the destination hub is in free status. This has tended to achieve low network performance and data traffic, resulting in high energy utilization. The current work has designed a novel Energy-Aware Optimized Dynamic MAC (EAODM) approach to improve the MAC performance in the wireless environment. Here, the MAC protocol is also enhanced by buffalo fitness to estimate the node's energy consumption, load, and lifetime, which is considered the major novelty of the proposed work. In addition, to avoid a collision, the request-accept function is activated by the EAODM model. Finally, the designed model is implemented in the NS2 environment. The performance has been noted in terms of less energy consumption of 0.08 J, less delay score of 200 ms, and a high data transmission rate of 99.5%. Hence, the designed model is collision-free with less energy usage; it has tremendously increased the network performance by offering a better communication range.
