—We propose a scheme for routing and placement of mobile data collectors in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs). The proposed scheme maximizes the lifetime of the network...
Hybrid networks are networks capable of switching data at multiple levels (optical and IP packet level) by means of multi-service optical switches. As a result of that, huge flows...
— Next-generation mobile communication systems will provide “always best connected” services to mobile users via cellular networks that provide wide area coverage for global ...
