Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
A S-WAHN is a wireless Ad
Hoc Network in which the nodes utilize their
common (global or local)
knowledge of time as a foundation to tackle several
of the existing challenges
and/or improve over existing solutions.

frequent transmission of information by predicting
the
measured variables of other nodes in sensor networks
Gradient information of the sensed phenomena could be
transmitted and future
predictions might be possible thanks to a common time.
