In this paper, we propose a novel MAC protocol, called Quality-ofservice Guarantee Multiple Access (QGMA), in wireless local area networks to support the quality of service requir...
—Emerging applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) require real-time quality of service (QoS) guarantees to be provided by the network. However, designing real-time schedu...
We propose a wireless medium access control (MAC) protocol that provides static-priority scheduling of messages in a guaranteed collision-free manner. Our protocol supports multip...
Nodes in sensor networks often encounter spatially-correlated contention, where multiple nodes in the same neighborhood all sense an event they need to transmit information about....
Abstract— Many of sensor network applications require reliable data communication such that data packets can be delivered to the destination without loss. However, existing relia...
