Abstract

Male Japanese tree frogs exhibit a self-organized behavior for the desynchronization of their calls. This property has evolved because female frogs are not able to correctly localize the male frogs when their calls are too close in time. A model for this behavior has been proposed in the literature. However, its use in technical applications is, so far, quite limited. In this paper we implement the originally proposed model in sensor networks, with the aim of desynchronizing neighboring nodes as much as possible. Moreover, we propose extensions of the original model. Experimental results show that the proposed extensions improve the desynchronization capabilities of the original model.
