  abstract  = {Biologically inspired self-organization methods can help to manage the access control to the shared communication medium of Wireless Sensor Networks. One lightweight approach is the primitive of desynchronization, which relies on the periodic transmission of short control messages - similar to the periodical pulses of oscillators. This primitive of desynchronization has already been successfully implemented as MAC protocol for single-hop topologies. Moreover, there are also some concepts of such a protocol formulti-hop topologies available. However, the existing implementations may handle just a certain class of multi-hop topologies or are not robust against topology dynamics. In addition to the sophisticated access control of the sensor nodes of a Wireless Sensor Network in arbitrary multi-hop topologies, the communication protocol has to be lightweight, applicable, and scalable. These characteristics are of particular interest for distributed and randomly deployed networks (e.g., by dropping nodes off an airplane). In this work we present the development of a self-organizing MAC protocol for dynamic multi-hop topologies. This implies the evaluation of related work, the conception of our new communication protocol based on the primitive of desynchronization as well as its implementation for sensor nodes. As a matter of course, we also analyze our realization with regard to our specific requirements. This analysis is based on several (simulative as well as real-world) scenarios. Since we are mainly interested in the convergence behavior of our protocol, we do not focus on the "classical" network issues, like routing behavior or data rate, within this work. Nevertheless, for this purpose we make use of several real-world testbeds, but also of our self-developed simulation framework. According to the results of our evaluation phase, our self-organizing MAC protocol for WSNs, which is based on the primitive of desynchronization, meets all our demands. In fact, our communication protocol operates in arbitrary multi-hop topologies and copes well with topology dynamics. In this regard, our protocol is the first and only MAC protocol to the best of our knowledge. Moreover, due to its periodic transmission scheme, it may be an appropriate starting base for additional network services, like time synchronization or routing.},
