While extensive studies have been carried out in the past several years for many sensor applications, they cannot be applied to the network with extremely low and intermittent con...
Currently, most wireless sensor network applications assume the presence of single-channel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. When sensor nodes are densely deployed, single-cha...
It has been shown in the literature that many MAC protocols for wireless networks have a considerable control overhead, which limits their achievable throughput and delay performan...

—Today, many network applications require shorter react time. Robotic field is an excellent example of these needs: robot react time has a direct effect on its task’s complexit...
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...
