Cooperative Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) schemes can reduce both transmission energy and latency in distributed wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper we develop a new cooperative low power listening (LPL) Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for two cooperative MIMO schemes: optima...
