Emergency communication infrastructure should allow fast and reliable information dissemination to assist community and ease mitigation activities. Failure in communication networ...
Due to the shared medium nature of wireless networks, the uncertainties caused by collisions and interferences make the Quality of Service (QoS) issue harder than its wired counte...
—The communication model typically assumed in wireless ad-hoc networks is based on a traditional “pipelined relay” (PR) strategy. In PR, an end-to-end flow has multiple outs...
Deployment of a wireless sensor network (WSN) system is a critical step because theoretical models and assumptions often differ from real environmental characteristics and perform...
This paper proposes a policy-based management framework for self-managed wireless sensor networks (WSNs) called SNOWMAN (SeNsOr netWork MANagement). In WSNs, a number of sensor nod...
