Abstract — We present a novel protocol architecture for ubiquitous networks. Our solution is based on a randomized routing, MAC and duty cycling protocols that allow for performance and reliability leveraging node density. We show how the three layers can be jointly optimized for energy efficiency and we present a completely distributed algorithm that allows for the network to reach the optimal working point and adapt to traffic variations with negligible overhead. Finally, we present a set of simulation results that support our mathematical model. I.
