— Since WSNs have restricted energy sources, the energy efficiency of a synchronization scheme is as important as the accuracy of a clock. To accomplish both the energy efficienc...
Wireless sensor networks require shared medium access management to prevent collisions, message corruption and other unhelpful effects. Cellular sensornets require minimal energy ...
Existing slotted channel access schemes in wireless networks assume that slot boundaries at all nodes are synchronized. In practice, relative clock drifts among nodes cause slot mi...
Collaborative communication produces significant (N2 where N is number of nodes used for collaboration) power gain and overcomes the effect of fading. With imperfect frequency sync...
Duty cycling is often used to reduce the energy consumption caused by idle listening in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Most studies on WSN protocols define a common duty cycle va...
