General Research Objectives
	The objectives of our overall research are: 1) To design a S-WAHN Network Time-Synchronization Algorithm       with the following characteristics: • Accurate enough to allow for a time-slotted MAC    protocol (i.e., sec accuracy) • Scalable • Non-hierarchical and autonomous • Convergent • Distributed (Fault tolerant) 2) To design a S-WAHN MAC strategy that can guarantee a     minimum performance (delay and throughput) • Resilient to topology changes • Guarantee performance • Fair
