Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become a leading solution in many important
applications such as intrusion detection, target tracking, industrial automation, smart building …

The wireless medium being inherently broadcast in nature and hence prone to interferences
requires highly optimized medium access control (MAC) protocols. This holds particularly …

The increasing use of wireless networks and the constant miniaturization of electrical
devices has empowered the development of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). In …

The wireless sensor network (WSN) technology spawns a surge of unforeseen applications.
The diversity of these emerging applications represents the great success of this technology …

Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP: The Next Internet explains why the Internet Protocol
(IP) has become the protocol of choice for smart object networks. IP has successfully …

The problem of idle listening is one of the most significant sources of energy consumption in
wireless sensor nodes, and many techniques have been proposed based on duty cycling to …

This paper presents PW-MAC (Predictive-Wakeup MAC), a new energy-efficient MAC
protocol based on asynchronous duty cycling. In PW-MAC, nodes each wake up to receive …

In the medium access control layer (MAC) of WSN, the scheduling mechanism of nodes
based on the periodical listen/sleep is an effective way of saving node energy consumption …

ABSTRACT The Time Synchronized Mesh Protocol (TSMP) enables reliable, low power,
secure communication in a managed wireless mesh network. TSMP is a medium access …

A decade ago as wireless sensor network research took off many researchers in the field
denounced the use of IP as inadequate and in contradiction to the needs of wireless sensor …
