This document delves into energy-efficient approaches to the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, specifically implementing the CSMA/CA mechanism. It discusses the physical and virtual carrier sensing methods and channel access coordination via Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and Point Coordination Function (PCF). It highlights the importance of power-saving mechanisms, including the Dynamic Power Saving Mechanism (DPSM), which enables wireless interfaces to manage states effectively. Future work includes potential integration of error correction codes and the use of master nodes for enhanced performance.

The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol based on CSMA/CA 1)Physical carrier sense (sender) 2)virtual carrier sense (receiver) - Request to Sent (RTS) - Clear to Sent (CTS) • The 802.11 MAC protocol uses two ways to coordinate channel access. - Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) - Point Coordination Function (PCF).
Power saving mechanism in the Distributed Coordination Function • A wireless interface can in - off state - doze state - awake state (transmit, receive, idle)
Future works • Adding error corrections codes. • Using “master nodes” in DCF mode.
