In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained significant attention in both
industry and academia. In WSNs, each sensor node is normally equipped with a small‐size …

In this paper we present an energy efficient priority based MAC protocol for Wireless Sensor
Networks (WSNs). We abbreviate it as PRIMA. The PRIMA protocol consists of two phases; a …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used in a variety of applications to sense and transfer
information to the centralized node with energy efficiency increasing the network's lifespan …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have received considerable interest in recent years.
These sensor nodes can gather information from the surrounding environment and transmit …

This paper proposes receiver-initiated X-MAC with tree topology (TRIX-MAC), an improved
energy-efficient MAC protocol based on an asynchronous duty cycling for wireless sensor …

Energy efficiency is a critical issue for sensor network since the network lifetime depends on
efficient management of the energy resource of sensor nodes. Particularly, designing energy …

In this paper, we present the Intelligent Hybrid MAC (IH-MAC), a novel low power with
quality of service guaranteed medium access control protocol for wireless sensor networks …

Medium access control (MAC) protocols play a crucial role in energy efficiency, latency
reduction for sensor networks. Although some existing MAC protocols have achieved certain …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) comprise a number of autonomous sensors and one or
more sinks to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions. Energy efficiency …

Low power MAC protocols have received a lot of consideration in the last few years because
of their influence on the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. Since, sensors typically operate …
