pQueue-MAC: An Energy Efficient Hybrid MAC Protocol for Event-Driven Sensor Networks

Although a lot of MAC protocols have been proposed to deal with burst traffic in wireless sensor networks, most of them do not optimize the energy efficiency of low and nonperiodic traffic, which actually wastes a lot of energy. To solve the problem, we propose a novel MAC protocol, called pQueue-MA...
