Abstract
A MAC protocol specifies how nodes in a sensor network access a shared communication channel. Desired properties of such MAC protocol are: it should be distributed and contention-free (avoid collisions); it should self-stabilize to changes in the network (such as arrival of new nodes), and these changes should be contained, i.e., affect only the nodes in the vicinity of the change; it should not assume that nodes have a global time reference, i.e., nodes may not be time-synchronized. We give the first MAC protocols that satisfy all of these requirements, i.e., we give distributed, contention-free, self-stabilizing MAC protocols which do not assume a global time reference. Our protocols self-stabilize from an arbitrary initial state, and if the network changes the changes are contained and the protocol adjusts to the local topology of the network. The communication complexity, number and size of messages, for the protocol to stabilize is small (logarithmic in network size).

Decentralised learning MACs for collision-free access in WLANs

TL;DR: This paper describes a MAC with optimal long-run throughput that is almost decentralised and designs two schemes that are practically realisable, decentralised approximations of this optimal scheme and operate with different amounts of sensing information.

Coloring unstructured radio networks

TL;DR: This paper proposes an algorithm that works under the unstructured radio network model, i.e. asynchronous wake-up, no collision-detection, and scarce knowledge about the network topology, and produces a correct coloring with O(Δ) colors in time with high probability in a unit disk graph.

Channel allocation and medium access control for wireless sensor networks

TL;DR: CMAC, a fully desynchronized multi-channel MAC protocol with minimum hardware requirements, is proposed, which takes into account the fundamental energy constraint in sensor nodes by placing them in a default sleep mode as far as possible, enables spatial channel re-use and ensures nearly collision free communication.

Geography-informed Energy Conservation for Ad Hoc Routing

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a geographical adaptive fidelity (GAF) algorithm that reduces energy consumption in ad hoc wireless networks by identifying nodes that are equivalent from a routing perspective and turning off unnecessary nodes, keeping a constant level of routing fidelity.
