The data throughput that a wireless sensor network (WSN) can guarantee is influenced by a
plethora of concurrent causes. Among those, limited connectivity and medium access control …

Most Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) applications require that a large number of low-
complexity energy-constrained sensors forward the sensed information to a sink node …

Toward devising a new efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol that overcomes the
shortcomings of the IEEE 802.15. 4 standard MAC, we work on exploiting the Clear Channel …

In this paper we present a mathematical approach to evaluate the area throughput of a multi-
sink wireless sensor network (WSN), where nodes transmit their packets to a sink, selected …

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) is the most popular
channel access mechanism for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The random backoff and …

In a wireless network using CSMA for MAC, packet collisions can result either because of
the vulnerability stemming from the idle channel detection delay of the radio device or …

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), data converges to sinks via multi-hop transmission,
which can be described by a transmission tree. In this paper, we analyzed the conflict …

In this paper, we present an analytical model for the scheduled access mechanism of IEEE
802.15. 6 based Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) taking into account the impact of non …

The availability of small, low-cost, battery operated devices capable of sensing, performing
simple processing and transmitting data via wireless communications have the potential to …

Linear topologies arise naturally in the context of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications for
smart cities, where the infrastructure itself commonly has a linear or semi-linear structure …
