In this paper we present an analysis of a MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for wireless sensor networks. The purpose of this protocol is to manage wireless media access by con...
—Underwater Sensor Networks are typically distributed in nature and the nodes communicate using acoustic waves over a wireless medium. Such networks are characterized by long and...
—The IEEE 802.15.4 standard was developed for the purpose of media access control of low power wireless personal area networks. Wireless sensor network devices have the general c...
In this paper, we study end-to-end performance characteristics of S-MAC, an energy-aware medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSN). WSNs are composed...
