Further protocols<br />

• MAC protocols for ad hoc/sensor networks is one the most<br />

active research fields<br />

• Tons of additional protocols in the literature<br />

• Examples: STEM, mediation device protocol, many CSMA variants<br />

with different timing optimizations, protocols for multi-hop<br />

• Additional problems, e.g., reliable multicast<br />

• This chapter has barely scratched the surface…<br />
