S-MAC is a MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol as specialized for the wireless sensor network in order to sacrifice transmission delay and extend the working life of the whole sen...
In self-organizing networks of battery-powered wireless sensors that can sense, process, and communicate, energy is the most crucial and scarce resource. However, since sensor netw...
Abstract--Time synchronization is a critical service for distributed network systems. In this work, we investigate this problem in the context of underwater sensor networks (UWSNs)...
