Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) nodes are widely used in various sectors nowadays. WSN nodes experience a lot of problems that impact on battery life for sensor node such as, overhearing, collision,hidden node, idle listening, schedule drifts, and high latency. Moreover, WSN nodes are strongly depen...
