In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), sensor nodes are typically subjected to energy constraints and often prone to topology changes. While duty cycling has been widely used for ener...
The natural or man-made disaster demands an efficient communication and coordination among first responders to save life and other community resources. Normally, the traditional c...
Duty cycling is often used to reduce the energy consumption caused by idle listening in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Most studies on WSN protocols define a common duty cycle va...
Abstract--We present a new scheme to reduce the end-toend routing delay in the mission-critical applications of the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) under the duty cycle model. Whil...
—Duty-cycle MAC protocols have been proposed to meet the demanding energy requirements of wireless sensor networks. Although existing duty-cycle MAC protocols such as S-MAC are p...
