This paper introduces ER-MAC, a hybrid MAC protocol for emergency response wireless sensor networks. ERMAC is designed as of the TDMA and CSMA approaches, giving it flexibility to adapt traffic topology changes. It adopts approach schedule collision-free slots. Nodes wake up their scheduled slots, but otherwise switch into power-saving sleep mode. When an occurs, nodes that participate in monitoring change behaviour by allowing contention slots achieve high delivery ratio low latency. ER-MAC...

With the advent of cognitive radio technology, new paradigms for spectrum access can achieve near-optimal utilisation by letting each user sense and utilise available opportunistically while regulating interference it imposes on other users through constraints. However, simplest most common forms such constraints are binary transmitter-centric, which often inefficient since they only consider pair-wise sets transmitters. Hence, we propose a non-binary receiver-centric constraint model in...
