PEDAMACS is a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheme that extends the common
single hop TDMA to a multihop sensor network, using a high-powered access point to …

In this paper, we present an energy-efficient medium access protocol designed for wireless
sensor networks. Although the protocol uses TDMA to give nodes in the WSN the …

Nodes in sensor networks often encounter spatially-correlated contention, where multiple
nodes in the same neighborhood all sense an event they need to transmit information about …

We describe HyMAC, a new hybrid MAC layer protocol for wireless sensor networks that is,
to the best of our knowledge, the first effort to combine the strengths of both TDMA and …

The traffic-adaptive medium access protocol (TRAMA) is introduced for energy-efficient
collision-free channel access in wireless sensor networks. TRAMA reduces energy …

Earlier sensor network MAC protocols focus on energy conservation in low-duty cycle
applications, while some recent applications involve real-time high-data-rate signals. This …

We introduce FLAMA (flow-aware medium access), an energy-efficient medium-access
control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless sensor networks. FLAMA achieves energy …

In this paper we describe T-MAC, a contention-based Medium Access Control protocol for
wireless sensor networks. Applications for these networks have some characteristics (low …

WiseMAC is a medium access control protocol designed for the WiseNET™ wireless sensor
network. It is based on CSMA and uses the preamble sampling technique to minimize the …

WiseMAC is a medium access control protocol designed for wireless sensor networks. This
protocol is based on non-persistent CSMA and uses the preamble sampling technique to …
