Unlike the existing carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocols, which often set a random or fixed back-off value when channel access collisions occur, this article ...

A novel contention-based medium access control (MAC) protocol, called L-CSMA, specifically devised for linear topologies, is proposed. Carrier-sensing multiple access (CSMA) suffers from the ...

A comprehensive comparative analysis of energy efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks, focusing on IEEE 802.15.4 and LEACH protocols. This project evaluates performance metrics, energy consumption ...
