Abstract The standard IEEE 802.15.4 fails to perform optimally for railway monitoring applications due to the deficiency of guaranteed time slots (GTSs). In the present work, an adaptive GTS allocation algorithm (AGAA) is proposed which efficiently deals with a deficiency of GTSs and slot underutilization problem. The proposed AGAA algorithm saves unutilized bandwidth of GTS and the saved bandwidth is utilized by the needy nodes in contention access period (CAP) and contention-free period (CFP). An independent superframe order (S OC F P ) is introduced for adaptive adjustment of slot size in the CFP. The proposed AGAA protocol also deals with the problem of GTS request-failure due to congestion during CAP. A separate contention period is used for GTS request in AGAA protocol. The comparison has been done between the proposed AGAA protocol and the standard IEEE 802.15.4 medium access control (MAC) protocol. Throughput and energy consumption are analyzed and results show that the slot optimization using S OC F P saves a fair amount of bandwidth which improves the throughput of the network ≈ 22%. Moreover, the separate contention period for the GTS request frame reduces the idle state energy consumption of those devices which generate time-constraint data frames. The proposed AGAA protocol consumes ≈ 18% less energy than the standard IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol. The analysis of results also reveals an important fact that the algorithm saves more energy for homogeneous traffic in comparison to heterogeneous traffic which can further be improved in future works.

1 Introduction To offer better Quality of Service (QoS) and reliability of the wireless sensor network (WSN), the medium access control (MAC) protocol of IEEE 802.15.4 performs two modes of operation i.e. contention access and contentionfree mode. The former uses carrier sense multiple access (CSMA)/collision avoidance (CA) algorithm and the latter follows time division multiple access (TDMA) algorithm to access the medium. With the hybridization of both the features, the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol provides much better

flexibility for various applications than the existing contention and scheduled based MAC protocols. Various works are reported by the researchers to optimize the performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol [1–12]. The contentionbased approach shows a stochastic behavior that is more suitable for high traffic applications and for non-uniform data generation. On the other hand, the contention-free approach show
