—Broadcast is one of the most fundamental services in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It facilitates sensor nodes to propagate messages across the whole network, serving a wide ...
—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 p...
: To extend the functional lifetime of battery-operated Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), stringent sleep scheduling strategies with communication duty cycles running at sub-1% rang...
The current specification for IEEE 802.15.4 beacon-enabled networks does not define how active and sleep schedules should be configured in order to achieve the optimal network perf...
Energy is the most crucial but scarce resource in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A wealth of MAC protocols are proposed only to prolong the network lifetime for energy-efficienc...
