Figure 3: X-MAC.
4.3.2. Request-Oriented.The required time for a concentrator
to transmit its request to devices is
푇req=푇퐵+푚∗(푇MP+푇AW)+푇DT+푇ACK. (11)
And, unlike B-MAC and WISE-MAC, X-MAC cannot trigger
all devices with a single preamble transmission. Therefore,
the request of the concentrator must be transmitted as many
times as the number of devices. So the total aggregation time
of푛nodes per request is
푇X-MAC(푅)=푛∗(푇req+푇resp)=2∗푛∗푇req
=2∗푛∗(푇퐵+푚∗(푇MP+푇AW)+푇DT+푇ACK).
