: The overall safety integrity of a safety critical system, comprising both software and hardware, is typically specified quantitatively, e.g., in terms of failure rates. However, ...
Abstract— In conventional wireless systems with layered architectures, the physical layer treats all data streams from upper layers equally and apply the same modulation and codi...
In this paper, we investigate the multi-channel MAC problem in underwater acoustic sensor networks. To reduce hardware cost, only one acoustic transceiver is often preferred on ev...
Abstract. Interoperability remains a fundamental challenge when connecting heterogeneous systems which encounter and spontaneously communicate with one another in pervasive computi...
