Formal Modeling of Greedy Nodes in 802.15.4 WSN

This paper deals with formal specification of the non-slotted CSMA/CA protocol in wireless sensor networks(WSN) whose some nodes own a greedy behavior.This protocol requires sensor nodes to wait some time before initiating a transmission, whereas greedy nodes Magnetic Toys may try to reduce their waiting duration, which may penalize other nodes.To
