This paper addresses questions of using wireless mesh networks (WMNs) in heterogeneous industrial infrastructures. This implies several problems like global addressing, handling o...
— Because of limited resources at sensor nodes, sensor networks typically adopt symmetric-key algorithms to provide security functions such as protecting communications between n...
— The ability of an operator to respond to changes in demand by incrementally deploying additional network infrastructure is essential. This paper1 presents a method for evaluati...
—Physical Carrier Sensing plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of CSMA-based MAC protocols, yet its properties and impact on the system performance under slow fading channel...
— In this paper, we discuss for the first time the issue of supporting manycasting service over optical burstswitched (OBS) networks. One of the primary challenges in providing ...
