Motivated by stringent power constraints, duty cycling-the practice of turning a mote's radio
on and off to conserve energy-has become a fundamental mechanism in the design of …

Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to change the everyday life of its users by enabling data
exchanges among pervasive things through the Internet. Such a broad aim, however, puts …

This paper describes a new consensus-based protocol, referred to as Average TimeSync
(ATS), for synchronizing the clocks of a wireless sensor network. This algorithm is based on …

This paper considers time synchronization in wireless sensor networks. When the
communication delay is negligible, the maximum time synchronization (MTS) protocol is …

Energy-efficient and robust-time synchronization is crucial for industrial Internet of things
(IIoT). Some energy-efficient time synchronization schemes that achieve high accuracy have …

Medium access control (MAC) protocols for wireless sensor networks face many challenges,
including energy-efficient operation and robust support for varying traffic loads, in spite of …

Sleep/wake-up scheduling is one of the fundamental problems in wireless sensor networks,
since the energy of sensor nodes is limited and they are usually unrechargeable. The …

In this paper, we concern ourselves with the development of a localization system that
permits multiple robots to localize themselves simultaneously within a given area, which has …

Having access to an accurate time is a vital building block in all networks; in wireless sensor
networks even more so, because wireless media access or data fusion may depend on it …

Time synchronization is critical for the operation of distributed systems in networked
environments. It is also demanded in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), which, as a …
