Abstract. Wireless sensor networks benefit from communication protocols that reduce power requirements by avoiding frame collision. Time Division Media Access methods schedule transmission in slots to avoid collision, however these methods often lack scalability when implemented in ad hoc networks subject to node failures and dynamic topology. This paper reports a distributed algorithm for TDMA slot assignment that is self-stabilizing to transient faults and dynamic topology change. The expected local convergence time is O(1) for any size network satisfying a constant bound on the size of a node neighborhood.
A distributed algorithm for TDMA slot assignment in WSNs that is self-stabilizing to transient faults and dynamic topology change is presented in REF .
