The ever-increasing number of transistors on a chip has resulted in very large scale integration (VLSI) systems whose performance and manufacturing costs are driven by on-chip wir...
In wireless ad hoc networks, clustering is one of the most important approaches for many applications. A connected k-hop clustering network is formed by electing clusterheads in k...
— The efficiency of sensor networks depends on the coverage of the monitoring area. Although in general a sufficient number of sensors are used to ensure a certain degree of re...
—The presence of heterogeneous nodes (i.e., nodes with an enhanced energy capacity or communication capability) in a sensor network is known to increase network reliability and l...
