An Adaptive Time-Spread Multiple-Access Policy for Wireless Sensor Networks

Sensor networks require a simple and efficient medium access control policy achieving high system throughput with no or limited control overhead in order to increase the network lifetime by minimizing the energy consumed during transmission attempts. Time-spread multiple-access (TSMA) policies that...
