Abstract:In this paper, we provide a general framework of distributed medium access control (DMAC) and synchronization for ad-hoc sensor networks with omni-directional antennas. Compared to existing works that focus on minimizing the energy consumption, our design objectives aim to increase the throughput, to lower the latency, and to solve hidden and exposed nodes problem in a traffic-heavy and dynamic environment. DMAC uses different transmission techniques based on the type of outbound packets, to effectively reduce… Show more
