Such nodes have very limited computation, energy, andcommunication capabilities. In order to extend the lifetime of the nodes, we propose afuzzy logic controller to adapt a duty cycle of each node by changing superframe order(SO) based upon the network traffic and node's buffer occupation. Simulating theproposed algorithm in Castalia simulator and comparing it with constant duty cycleschemes are carried out in this paper. Simulation results show that the proposedalgorithm decreases drop packets in node's buffer, decreases packet latency andincreases energy efficiency.
