History-based MAC Protocol for Low Duty-Cycle Wireless Sensor Networks: the SLACK-MAC Protocol
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are increasingly used in environmental monitoring applications.They are designed to operate for several months by featuring low activity cycles in order to save energy.In this paper, we propose a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for suchWSNs with very low duty-cycles of hbl5266ca 1% and less.Nodes are activated r
