A)message passing
B)periodic listen and sleep
C)topology control
D)link control

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The S-MAC (Sensor-MAC) protocol incorporates the periodic listen and sleep mechanism specifically to reduce energy consumption during periods of inactivity. By turning off the radio periodically, it conserves energy when there are no events to sense, which is crucial for the longevity of sensor nodes in a network.
