Abstract. A MAC protocol specifies how nodes in a sensor network access a shared communication channel. Desired properties of such MAC protocol are: it should be distributed and c...

— We propose a contention based reservation MAC protocol for a collaborative sensing scenario involving a set of surveillance UAVs communicating with a hub. Data transmission rig...
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 give a new distributed algorithm EasyMAC for the slot assignment for media access control (MAC) of nodes in a sensor network. Our algorithm reduces both the number of messages ...
