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 …

In this paper, we propose an efficient MAC protocol: the throughput maximized MAC protocol
(TM-MAC), inspired by the availability that a number of ultrawideband (UWB) transmission …

One of the major challenges in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is the mitigation of
collisions due to simultaneous transmissions by multiple nodes over a common channel …

In the last few years, a new design paradigm has arisen in the field of wireless
communications research: the so-called cross-layer optimization. In fact, this paradigm …

ABSTRACT In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), the energy of the sensor nodes is a very
scarce resource and it is desired to decrease the energy consumption in sensor nodes. The …
