Predictive duty cycle adaptation method for event-driven wireless sensor network

摘要

Embodiments of a method for controlling access to a shared communications medium by a plurality of nodes are disclosed. The method may comprise predicting, for each node of the plurality of nodes, whether an event will occur within a sensing field of that node at a future time and adapting a communications schedule of each node in response to the prediction regarding that node. Wireless sensor networks and computer readable media implementing embodiments of a method for controlling access to a shared communications medium by a plurality of nodes are also disclosed.
