Medium access control with coordinated adaptive sleeping for wireless sensor networks

W. Ye, John S. Heidemann, D. Estrin
Computer Science
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking
1 June 2004

This paper proposes S-MAC, a medium access control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless sensor networks that is different from traditional wireless MACs such as 802.11 in several ways: energy conservation and self-configuration are primary goals. Expand

Ultra-low duty cycle MAC with scheduled channel polling

W. Ye, F. Silva, John S. Heidemann
Computer Science
SenSys '06
31 October 2006

We demonstrate that ultra-low duty cycles of 0.1% and below are possible with a new MAC protocol called scheduled channel polling, which can extend lifetime of networks by a factor of 3-6 times over LPL. Expand
