The Energy Harvesting-aware Contention Treebased Access (EH-CTA) protocol is presented in this paper as a novel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for wireless Machine-to-Machine (M2M) networks where end-devices are equipped with energy harvesters. The protocol is theoretically modeled to analyze its performance. A performance comparison with an EH-aware Dynamic Frame Slotted-ALOHA (EH-DFSA) shows...
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) area networks must provide connectivity between an M2M gateway and a large number of energy-constrained M2M devices. Attaining high energy efficiency is essential in order to prolong devices lifetime. In this paper, we consider a wireless M2M area network composed of hundreds or even thousands of dormant devices that wake up periodically to transmit data upon request from...
Attaining very high energy efficiency is one of the big challenges to implement Machine-to-Machine (M2M) networks whose lifetime (without human intervention) must be measured in years. In this paper, we consider a synchronized duty-cycled M2M network composed of a large number of devices that periodically wake up their radio interfaces to transmit data to a coordinator. We theoretically analyze the...
