Smart metering systems with Wireless Smart Utility Network (Wi-SUN) have been introducing in gas and water infrastructures for optimal management of energy and resources. These wireless systems require low-power consumption to operate long period, e.g., 10 years by battery operation. One of the solutions is development of Media Access Control (MAC) protocol for low-power operation. The Feathery Receiver Initiated Transmission (F-RIT) protocol is one of the implementable low-power consumption MAC protocol complied with IEEE 802.15.4g global standard for the MAC layer of the Wi-SUN systems. In this paper, the feasibility and effectiveness of the F-RIT protocol are experimentally investigated in terms of communication link establishment success rate performance and power consumption performance by implementing the F-RIT protocol on commercial Wi-SUN modules equipped with IEEE 802.15.4g complied RF module.
