The IEEE 802.15.4 is the most widespread used protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and it is being used as a baseline for several higher layer protocols such as ZigBee, 6LoWPAN or Wireless HART. Its MAC (Medium Access Control) supports both contention-free (CFP, based on the reservation of guaranteed time-slots GTS) and contention based (CAP, ruled by CSMA/CA) access, when operating in beacon-enabled...
The increasing capabilities of software and hardware in sensor networks enable a broad range of data-intensive applications such as sensor databases, image and video processing, real-time object localization and tracking, and pervasive health monitoring. These applications require high data rates to complete node collaboration tasks. Thus, a reliable and efficient data receiving mechanism is needed...
Many sensor network applications require consistent coverage of the region in which they are deployed over the course of the network lifetime. However, because sensor networks may be deployed randomly, node distribution and data redundancy in some regions of the network may be lower than in others. The sensors in the sparsest regions should be considered more critical to the sensor network application...
