Asynchronous wakeup for ad hoc networks

Due to the slow advancement of battery technology, power management in wireless networks remains to be a critical issue. Asynchronous wakeup has the merits of not requiring global clock synchronization and being resilient to network dynamics. This paper presents a systematic approach to designing and implementing asynchronous wakeup mechanisms in ad hoc networks. The optimal wakeup schedule design can be formulated as a block design problem in...
