The wireless medium being inherently broadcast in nature and hence prone to interferences
requires highly optimized medium access control (MAC) protocols. This holds particularly …

Smart Grid is designed to integrate advanced communication/networking technologies into
electrical power grids to make them “smarter”. Current situation is that most of the blackouts …

Duty-cycling allows obtaining significant energy saving compared to full duty cycle
(sleepless) random access MAC protocols. However, it may result in significant latency. In …

In this paper we explore the problems of storing and reasoning about data collected from
very large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Potential worldwide deployment of …

In this demonstration paper, we present a multi-radio MAC protocol and a prototype sensor
node platform which supports dual frequency bands of operation. The multi-radio MAC …

The extreme conditions under which multi-hop underwater acoustic sensor networks
(UASNs) operate constrain the performance of medium access control (MAC) protocols. The …

Energy efficiency and increased throughput are the two major goals in the design of MAC
protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The traditional sensor-MAC (S-MAC) and …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become relatively common in recent years with
application scenarios ranging from low-traffic soil condition sensing to high-traffic video …

Medium access control layer has been the hotbed of research in the field of wireless sensor
networks since huge amount of research in wireless sensor networks has focused on saving …
