Energy Efficient Spectrum Resources Usage in WPANs

IEEE 802.15.4 MAC Sub-layer Protocols

af Luis Miguel Borges

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and the Internet of Things are facing tremendous advances both in terms of energy-ef∩¼üciency as well as in the number of available applications. Consequently, there are challenges that need to be tackled for the future generation of WSNs. After giving an overview of the WSN protocols and IEEE 802.15.4 standard, this book proposes IEEE 802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC) sub-layer performance enhancements by employing not only RTS/CTS combined with packet concate...
