A simple random walk (SRW) has been considered as an effective forwarding method for many applications in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to its desirable properties. However...
—We present a novel approach for minimizing the energy consumption of medium access control (MAC) protocols developed for duty-cycled wireless sensor networks (WSN) for the unslo...

—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...
Energy efficiency is of the utmost importance in wireless sensor networks. The family of low-power-listening MAC protocols was proposed to reduce one form of energy dissipation...
In this paper we discuss the lifetime of an battery powered device which acts as a gateway between a wireless sensor network and a standard network. The wireless communication stan...
