Mobile edge computing (MEC) has recently emerged as a promising paradigm to meet the
increasing computation demands in Internet of Things (IoT). However, due to the limited …

In this paper, we proposed LCX‐MAC (local coordination X‐MAC) as an extension of X‐
MAC. X‐MAC is an asynchronous duty cycle medium access control (MAC) protocol. X‐MAC …

In Internet of Things, various things realize interconnection and intercommunication by the
wireless sensor network (WSN). The time-division multiple-access (TDMA) slot scheduling …

Abstract Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for wireless decentralized networks in IoT
have attracted a lot of attention in both academic and industrial fields. They aim to …

Internet of Things (IoT) has become an interesting research domain as numerous devices,
preferably equipped with sensors, communication, and actuator modules, are deployed to …

In distributed wireless sensor networks (WSNs), TDMA protocols are a widely applied
solution when a reliable data-transferring mechanism is in demand. However, to produce a …

In the Internet of Things scene, the wireless sensor network (WSN) is widely used to monitor
and perceive various context environments. The efficient utilization of time division multiple …

Lifetime is a major challenge in wireless sensor networks which depends on the energy
consumption of the nodes. Energy limitation in nodes leads to many researches to find out …

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), contention occurs when two or more nodes in a
proximity simultaneously try to access the channel. The contention causes collisions, which …
