N2 - When data traffic in a wireless network is bursty, small amounts of data sporadically become available for transmission, and the energy cost associated with synchronizing the network nodes prior to each communication block is not negligible. Therefore, designing energy-efficient communication schemes for such asynchronous scenarios is of particular importance. In this paper, we show that, for symmetric diamond networks, by performing the tasks of synchronization and communication separately, it is possible to achieve the minimum energy-per-bit to within a factor that ranges from 2 in the synchronous case to 1 in the highly asynchronous regime.
