Part I: CDC-MAC is cooperative MAC protocol jointly proposed by GATECH and UiA which utilizes cooperation communications to mitigate the effect of energy hole in WSNs. However, node synchronization is needed for every packet transmission in CDC-MAC. By considering periodic traffic, we further extend CDC-MAC by proposing energy efficient CDC-MAC, referred to as EECDC-MAC, which requires node synchronization only in the network initialization phase. Numerical results illustrate that longer network lifetime is achieved using EECDC-MAC. Part II: packet transmission in WSNs is traditionally performed on a per-packet basis during each duty cycle. In this work, we propose to transmit a batch of packets for each transmission by aggregating several packets together at each node. A Markov model is developed to analyze the performance of our proposed scheme. Numerical results demonstrate that higher throughput and lower delay are achieved with lower per-bit energy consumption by employing the aggregated transmission scheme.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker\u0027s Biosketch\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EFrank Y.
