The localization of sensor nodes is a fundamental problem in sensor networks and can be implemented using powerful and expensive beacons. Beacons, the fewer the better, can acquire...
Abstract—Many distributed applications require a group of destinations to be coordinated with a single source. Multicasting is a communication paradigm to implement these distrib...
—The distributed nature of the CSMA/CA based wireless protocols, e.g., the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordinated function (DCF), allows malicious nodes to deliberately manipulate t...
—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
— Most wireless systems receive a license that gives them exclusive access to a block of spectrum. Exclusivity guarantees adequate quality of service, but it also leads to inefï¬...
