Abstract— Several applications have been proposed for Wireless sensor networks. These include habitat monitoring, structural health monitoring, pipeline (gas, water, and oil) mon...
— The IEEE 802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is designed for low data rate, short distance and low power communication applications such as Wireless Sensor Networks (...
Reliability and predictability of the timing behavior have shown to be major issues for wireless sensor network deployments. Real-time requirements presented by several application...
—Wireless sensor networks are increasingly being used for continuous monitoring of patients with chronic health conditions such as diabetes and heart problems. As biomedical sens...
Sensor networks can be used for event alarming applications. To date, in most of the proposed schemes, the raw or aggregated sensed data is periodically sent to a data consuming c...
