Wireless networked control systems (WNCSs) are composed of spatially distributed sensors,
actuators, and controllers communicating through wireless networks instead of conventional …

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

As the field of communications networks continues to evolve, the challenging area of
wireless sensor networks is rapidly coming of age. Recent advances have made it possible …

Algorithms for scheduling TDMA transmissions in multi-hop networks usually determine the
smallest length conflict-free assignment of slots in which each link or node is activated at …

The Time Synchronized Channel Hopping (TSCH) protocol is part of the newly defined IEEE
802.15. 4e standard and represents the latest generation of highly reliable low-power MAC …

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

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are generally designed to support applications in long-
term deployments, and thus WSN protocols are primarily designed to be energy efficient …

Wireless magnetic sensor networks offer an attractive, low-cost alternative to inductive loops
for traffic measurement in freeways and at intersections. In addition to providing vehicle …

As the use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) becomes widespread, node density tends to
increase. This poses a new challenge for medium access control (MAC) protocol design …

Real-time surveillance systems with green wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are vital for
maintaining high energy efficiency in many situations. This paper considers a scenario …
