Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology for low-cost, unattended monitoring
of a wide range of environments. Their importance has been enforced by the recent delivery …

Duty-cycle MAC protocols have been proposed to meet the demanding energy requirements
of wireless sensor networks. Although existing duty-cycle MAC protocols such as S-MAC are …

Real-time wireless sensor networks are becoming more and more important by the
requirement of message delivery timeliness in emerging new applications. Supporting real …

This paper presents a novel Medium Access Control protocol for inter-vehicular wireless
networking using the emerging Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) standards …

We consider the mobile data gathering problem in large-scale wireless sensor networks with
static sensor nodes and a mobile patrol node. Based on the assumptions that (a) the sensor …

This paper proposes MH-MAC, a new MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks capable of
handling applications that generate infrequent huge peaks of traffic. Existing protocols are …

Wireless sensor network applications have a predominant traffic pattern: convergecast, in
which sensor nodes send reports to the base station. Convergecast causes energy hole …

This paper presents a self-organizing medium access control (MAC) protocol framework for
distributed sensor networks with arbitrary mesh topologies. The novelty of the proposed In …

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a self-configuring network where nodes, connected by
wireless links, can move freely and thus the topology of the network changes constantly. A …

Application specific design requirements for wireless sensor network have posed new
challenges and need for revision of existing designs for its implementation in healthcare …
