This paper presents a time division multiple access medium access control protocol for
wireless sensor/actuator networks implemented with a contention-free message scheduler …

Embedding data-aggregation capabilities into sensor nodes of wireless networks could save
energy by reducing redundant data flow transmissions. Existing research describes the …

Wireless sensor networks usually operate under light traffic loads. However, when an event
is detected, a large volume of data may be generated and delivered to the sink. The demand …

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have nodes that are small in size and are
powered by small batteries having very limited amount of energy. In most applications of …

This study presents the design and performance evaluation of a latency bounded and
medium access control (MAC) scheme (abbreviated to LB-MAC) for wireless sensor …

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), contention occurs when two or more nodes in a
proximity simultaneously try to access the channel. The contention causes collisions, which …

In this paper, we propose an adaptive time division multiple access based medium access
control (MAC) protocol, called bitmap-assisted shortest job first based MAC (BS-MAC), for …

MAC protocol is the major consumer of sensor energy because it controls the activity of
wireless radio of sensor nodes directly. The energy efficiency of MAC protocol makes a …

Wireless sensor networks have recently gained a lot of attention. Target tracking is a
canonical application of wireless sensor networks and task allocation is an unavoidable …

Scalable and efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol has been of the paramount
significance for boosting the performance of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper …
