This document presents research on analyzing the energy consumption of a directional media access control protocol for short-distance optical communication between sensor nodes. The protocol uses a 5-channel, 2-receiver model. The number of synchronization frames and overall network energy consumption are simulated and plotted under different traffic rates. The number of transmissions, collisions, and successful transmissions are calculated to analyze performance. A random access protocol is proposed to mitigate the problem of collisions when multiple transmissions occur through a single channel. The research proposes assigning priority nodes that can send data through an additional channel, reducing overall energy consumption compared to general transmission models.
