Abstract
We propose a time-division multiple access (TDMA) algorithm for energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The proposed algorithm supports different transmission scenarios like single-hop, dual-hop, and multi-hop. In addition to normal synchronization packets, the algorithm allows sensor nodes to synchronize with packets from a neighboring node within its communication range. These scenarios allow the proposed algorithm to perform at a greater range and similar consistency compared to other proposed algorithms. The results show comparable performance when compared to state-of-the-art algorithms. Additionally, results show that the synchronization interval depends on the clock drift rate of the hardware used, which varies across different sets of hardware.
