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 …

Motivated by stringent power constraints, duty cycling-the practice of turning a mote's radio
on and off to conserve energy-has become a fundamental mechanism in the design of …

Recent advances in wireless technologies, micro-electro-mechanical systems, and
embedded systems enable the popular usage of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless …

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 …

Medium access control (MAC) protocols for wireless sensor networks face many challenges,
including energy-efficient operation and robust support for varying traffic loads, in spite of …

In this paper, a pervasive monitoring system to be deployed in underground environments is
presented. The system has been specifically designed for the so-called “Bottini”, ie, the …

Sleep/wake-up scheduling is one of the fundamental problems in wireless sensor networks,
since the energy of sensor nodes is limited and they are usually unrechargeable. The …

Due to the limit of computation and storage capability of devices, traditional security
techniques face many challenges in the process of data transmission. Networks need to …
