Abstract
The two main drawbacks of receiver-initiated
Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for Wireless Sensor
Networks (WSNs) are that i) they require all nodes to send a
beacon each time they wake up, and that ii) broadcast traffic is
not efficiently supported. In this work, we propose addressing
these limitations by extending receiver-initiated MAC protocols
with scheduling, i.e, coordinating sensor nodes to wake up at
nearly the same instant. Following this approach, only one
sensor node in the neighborhood sends a beacon per wake-up
period and, as all nodes are awake at the same time, broadcast
transmissions are naturally supported. A distributed learning
technique is used to establish the order of beacon transmissions.
We present the protocol description and the time to convergence
when a fully connected network is considered.
