An Adaptive Low-Power Listening Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks in Noisy Environments.

This paper investigates the energy consumption minimization problem for wireless sensor networks running low-power listening (LPL) protocols in noisy environments. We observe that the energy consumption by false wakeups (i.e., wakeup without receiving any packet) of a node in noisy environments can be a dominant factor in many cases while the false wakeup rate is spatially and temporarily dynamic....
