Multihop Medium Access Control for WSNs: An Energy Analysis Model
<p/> <p>We present an energy analysis technique applicable to medium access control (MAC) and multihop communications. Furthermore, the technique's application gives insight on using multihop forwarding instead of single-hop communications. Using the technique, we perform an energy...
