Abstract

Wireless sensor networks require shared medium access management to prevent collisions, message corruption and other unhelpful effects. Cellular sensornets require minimal energy consumption to maximise network lifetime, and management of interaction with base stations and other cells. We present a protocol which dynamically generates a near-optimal duty schedule within a cell such that communication duty is shared evenly between participating nodes with exactly one node on-duty at any given time.
