In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm that improves the performance of static task scheduling. Our algorithm is based on the list-scheduling mechanism. For the listing p...
A lifetime of several years for wireless sensor nodes can be achieved if their activity period is minimized. This can be done by using low duty cycle protocols. One of the challeng...
