—The hot spot problem is a typical byproduct of the many-to-one traffic pattern that characterizes most wireless sensor networks: the nodes with the best channel to the sink are ...
In this paper, we propose an alternative QoS architecture for the IEEE 802.16 Standard, that incorporates a priority based packet scheduling and a new traffic shaping. For this, w...
WiFi interface is known to be a primary energy consumer in mobile devices, and idle listening (IL) is the dominant source of energy consumption in WiFi. Most existing protocols, s...
Efficient routing and medium access control (MAC) are very important for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Most existing routing and MAC protocols consider homogeneous ad hoc networ...
Sensor networks are designed especially for deployment in adverse and nonaccessible areas without a fixed infrastructure. Therefore, energy conservation plays a crucial role for t...
