An energy-efficient MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks
Wei Ye,John Heidemann,Deborah Estrin +2 more
- 07 Nov 2002
TL;DR: S-MAC uses three novel techniques to reduce energy consumption and support self-configuration, and applies message passing to reduce contention latency for sensor-network applications that require store-and-forward processing as data move through the network.
Research challenges and applications for underwater sensor networking
John Heidemann,Wei Ye,Jack Wills,Affan A. Syed,Yuan Li +4 more
- 03 Apr 2006
TL;DR: This paper identifies research directions in short-range acoustic communications, MAC, time synchronization, and localization protocols for high-latency acoustic networks, long-duration network sleeping, and application-level data scheduling for underwater sensor networks.

T-Lohi: A New Class of MAC Protocols for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
Affan A. Syed,Wei Ye,John Heidemann +2 more
- 13 Apr 2008
TL;DR: T-Lohi is introduced, a new class of distributed and energy-efficient media-access protocols (MAC) for underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWSN) employing a novel tone-based contention resolution mechanism that exploits space-time uncertainty and high latency to detect collisions and count contenders, achieving good throughput across all offered loads.
Medium access control in wireless sensor networks
Wei Ye,John Heidemann +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter discusses design trade-offs with an emphasis on energy efficiency and presents S-MAC as an example of a MAC protocol designed specifically for a sensor network, illustrating one combination of designTrade-offs.

Understanding spatio-temporal uncertainty in medium access with ALOHA protocols
Affan A. Syed,Wei Ye,John Heidemann,Bhaskar Krishnamachari +3 more
- 14 Sep 2007
TL;DR: This paper investigates the spatial dimension of uncertainty that is inherent to varying locations of transmitters, resulting in unequal propagation latency to a receiver, and proposes a modification that adds guard bands to transmission slots to handle spatial uncertainty.
