An empirical study of low-power wireless (2010, background): “In X-MAC, a receiver sends an acknowledgement upon seeing the preamble and the sender sends the packet immediately [Buettner et al. 2006]: receiving the preamble means that the link is likely to remain good for the data packet that follows immediately.”
