Wireless sensor network consists of small battery powered sensors. Therefore, energy consumption is an important issue and several schemes have been proposed to improve the lifetim...
A MAC protocol specifies how nodes in a sensor network access a shared communication channel. Desired properties of a MAC protocol are: it should be contention-free (avoid collisio...

—Broadcast presents a special challenge for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In some situation such as time synchronization or building routing path, broadcasting messages must b...
We introduce a class of anchoritic sensor networks, where communications between sensor nodes are undesirable or infeasible due to, e.g., harsh environments, energy constraints, or...
