Abstract

In this paper, we propose a game theoretic framework for a new approach for MAC design with prioritized event reporting in sensor networks. The MAC priority classes are adaptively assigned based on accuracy of location information for individual sensor nodes, and on data correlation structure. We show that for the proposed MAC solution, the event reporting results in more accurate and faster localization of the event.
