In a wireless sensor network, energy is almost always the greatest limitation. Energy sources
are restricted in many of the environments where nodes are deployed, limiting them to the …

We propose a new MAC protocol for IoT applications, called Bird-MAC, which is highly
energy efficient in the applications where IoT sensors report monitoring status in a quasi …

We present a novel holistic approach (called I 2 C-Intra-route and Inter-route Coordination)
to prolong the sensor network lifetime under the end-to-end delivery delay constraint. I 2 C is …

Duty-cycling is a primary technique significantly improving the energy efficiency of Wireless
Sensor Networks (WSNs). Thus, a large number of MAC protocols have been developed for …

The vast distribution of low-power devices in IoT applications requires robust communication
technologies that ensure high-performance level in terms of QoS, light-weight computation …

Modern world is full of devices, and sensors, including smartphones, computers, air
conditioning devices, intelligent cars, surveillance systems, cameras, smart homes, and …

One of the appealing applications of smart home is remote monitoring of vital signs, such as
heart and respiratory, which has gained more attention during the last two decades. The …

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), MAC protocols for duty-cycling can be classified into
two categories: synchronous and asynchronous MAC protocols. Synchronous protocols …

We propose a new sensor MAC protocol, called Bird-MAC, which is highly energy efficient in
the applications where sensors periodically report monitoring status with a very low rate, as …

Wireless sensor networks accommodate an oversized range of nodes with restricted battery
power. As networks of those nodes are sometimes deployed unattended, network lifetime …
