Abstract: Energy consumption is one of the most important challenges for wireless sensor networks that need to be addressed. In addition to the proposed and developed many protocols in the data link layer and the network layer, cross- layer protocols have been designed to resolve energy consumption issues. Some of these protocols are valid for applications requiring a static distribution of nodes and others for applications requiring a random distribution of nodes. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of static and random distribution of nodes on slotted ALOHA based p-persistent CSMA MAC Protocol for data link layer, enhance energy conservation based on residual energy and distance (EECRED) for the network layer, and cross-layer design between the data link and the network layers (slotted ALOHA based p-persistent CSMA and EECRED) protocols. The MATLAB simulation program was used to evaluate the performance of the network. The results of the simulation show that there is no significant influence on energy consumption between a static distribution and random distribution. In general, the static distribution may be considered better than a random distribution since the static distribution of nodes ensures that each point in the area of interest is covered by a small number of sensors compared to the random distribution method, which requires a relatively large number of sensors to cover all areas of interest, in addition to not recognizing the position of the sensors and therefore it is difficult to replace the sensor when a malfunction occurs.
