Maximizing the aggregate network utility and minimizing the network energy consumption are important but conflict goals in wireless sensor networks. Challenges arise due to the app...
Abstract—This paper presents a protocol-independent approach to reveal a new insight into the performance of carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) prot...
— In this paper we develop a new dual decomposition method for optimizing a sum of convex objective functions corresponding to multiple agents but with coupled constraints. In ou...
—In this paper, we investigate the transmission-power assignment problem for k-connected mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), the problem of optimizing the lifetime of a MANET at a g...

— Spectrum sensing is a key enabling functionality in cognitive radio (CR) networks, where the CRs act as secondary users that opportunistically access free frequency bands. Due ...
