—This paper presents a new receiver-initiated sensor network MAC protocol, called CyMAC, which has the following unique features. It reduces the idle listening time of sensor nod...
WiseMAC is a medium access control protocol designed for wireless sensor networks. This protocol is based on non-persistent CSMA and uses the preamble sampling technique to minimiz...
This paper investigates the energy cost of control packets in schedule-based medium access control protocols in wireless sensor networks. Control packets can be useful not only to ...
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...
—Many recent advances in MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks have been proposed to reduce idle listening, an energy wasteful state of the radio. Low-Power-Listening (LPL) ...
