In many sensor network applications the major traffic pattern consists of data collected from
several source nodes to a sink through a unidirectional tree. In this paper, we propose …

A specific characteristic of sensor network applications is that the major traffic consists of
data collection from various sensor source nodes to a sink via a unidirectional tree. In this …

We propose a novel adaptive MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks. In existing
protocols such as SMAC, the sensor nodes are put to sleep periodically to save energy. As …

This paper proposes S-MAC, a medium-access control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless
sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing …

Duty-cycle MAC protocols have been proposed to meet the demanding energy requirements
of wireless sensor networks. Although existing duty-cycle MAC protocols such as S-MAC are …

Many new routing and MAC layer protocols have been proposed for wireless sensor
networks tackling the issues raised by the resource constrained unattended sensor nodes in …

In this paper, we focus on the problem of designing an energy efficient MAC protocol for
wireless sensor networks and propose a novel scheme, named TEEM (traffic aware, energy …

This work proposes wiseMAC (wireless sensor MAC) for the downlink of infrastructure
wireless sensor networks. WiseMAC is a novel energy efficient medium access control …

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 …
