—The overlay-based network architecture has been recognized as an effective way to deal with the funneling effect in sensor networks, where sensors closer to the sink are usually...
Data generated in wireless sensor networks may not all be alike: some data may be more important than others and hence may have different delivery requirements. In this paper, we a...
Networks of small devices, such as environmental sensors, introduce a number of new challenges for traditional protocols and approaches. In particular, the extreme resource constr...
This paper investigates two fundamental characteristics of a wireless multihop network: its minimum node degree and its k?connectivity. Both topology attributes depend on the spat...
Mobile IP is a common standard to support global mobility of mobile hosts (MHs). One of the major problems for the Mobile IP is frequent location update and high signaling overhea...
