Alert: An Adaptive Low-Latency Event-Driven MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Collection of rare but delay-critical messages from a group of sensor nodes is a key process in many wireless sensor network applications. This is particularly important for security-related applications like intrusion detection and fire alarm systems. An event sensed by multiple sensor nodes in the...
