A Power-Optimized Cooperative MAC Protocol for Lifetime Extension in Wireless Sensor Networks

In wireless sensor networks, in order to satisfy the requirement of long working time of energy-limited nodes, we need to design an energy-efficient and lifetime-extended medium access control (MAC) protocol. In this paper, a node cooperation mechanism that one or multiple nodes with higher channel...
