Mutual network synchronization is a distributed method in which geographically separated clocks align their times to one another without the need of reference or master clocks. Mut...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new medium access control protocol for wireless sensor networks, named LE-MAC (Latency and Energy aware MAC) that aims to minimize data delive...
—An energy-efficient, reliable and timely data transmission is essential for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) employed in scenarios where plant information must be available for ...

A number of wireless sensor network (WSN) applications demand timely data delivery. However, existing WSNs are designed to conserve energy and not to support timely data transmissi...
Since wireless ad-hoc networks use shared communication medium, accesses to the medium must be coordinated to avoid packet collisions. Transmission scheduling algorithms allocate ...
