Prime-number-assisted block-based neighbor discovery protocol in wireless sensor networks by Woosik Lee, Jong-Hoon Youn, Teukseob Song

“…For example, for two sensors whose duty cycles are different, if the lengths of their discovery schedules are relatively prime, the prime-number-assisted block-based neighbor discovery protocol simply uses the balanced incomplete block design–based neighbor discovery protocol without adding any additional active slots; otherwise, it changes the original balanced incomplete block design–based schedule using a prime number. …”
