“…We vary the duty cycle of the network, via the number of time slots τ in a working period. The duty cycles used in our simulation are 50, 33.33, 25, 20, 12.5, 10, 6.67, 5, 3.33, 2, 1.25, and 1%, corresponding to τ = 2, 3,4,5,8,10,15,20,30,50,80, and 100, respectively. Here, an active time slot of each node is randomly and independently determined between time slots 0 and τ − 1 [27].…”
