title = "Transmission scheduling in sensor networks via directed edge coloring",
abstract = "This paper presents a transmission scheduling scheme in sensor networks. Each node is assigned a list of time slots to use for unicast and broadcast communication. The algorithm employs edge coloring on a directed graph for transmission scheduling. It is different from previous works that use vertex coloring of a graph for node scheduling, or those that use edge coloring of undirected graphs for link scheduling. The proposed algorithm uses the least number of time slots compared to its counterparts and it avoids both the hidden terminal problem and the exposed terminal problem in both unicast and broadcast communication.",
