CA-MAC: A Novel MAC Protocol to Alleviate Congestion in Wireless Sensor Networks
Even if the traffic pattern is known and the network topology is simple, a strong congestion can take place in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to the data gathering effect and the duty-cycle operation. In this paper, we propose a novel medium access control (MAC) protocol to alleviate the cong...
