Since wireless ad-hoc networks use shared communication medium, accesses to the medium must be coordinated to avoid packet collisions. Transmission scheduling algorithms allocate ...
We consider sensor scheduling as the optimal observability problem for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP). This model fits to the cases where a Markov process ...
In this paper we consider the problem of searching for a node or an object (i.e., piece of data, file, etc.) in a large network. Applications of this problem include searching fo...
As many radio chips used in today's sensor mote hardware can work at different frequencies, several multi-channel communication protocols have recently been proposed to improv...
Protocols designed to provide error-free communications over lossy links, at both data link and transport layers, commonly employ the idea of sliding windows, which is based on th...
