摘要: We present Colorwave, a medium access control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless sensor networks such as radio frequency identification (RFID) reader networks. A network of readers will collaborate common application item-level monitoring in supply chain management. Readers may be deployed an ad hoc manner, and must not interfere with one another's reader-to-tag communication. Colorwave capitalized on the localized nature communications to provide on-line, distributed, MAC that minimized reader-to-reader interference.
