Abstract—VANET protocols need to exploit the special structure of vehicular networks. This structure includes the onedimensional nature of roads, the structure of lanes, the grou...
We consider the problem of static transmission-power assignment for lifetime maximization of a wireless sensor network with stationary nodes operating in a data-gathering scenario...
Energy efficiency is one of the crucial design criteria for wireless sensor networks. Idle listening constitutes a major part of energy waste, and thus solutions such as duty cycli...
Abstract-- Cooperative communications can be used to improve communication reliability. However, the transmissions from different relaying nodes result in a great challenge in prac...
In cognitive networks, since nodes generally belong to different authorities and pursue different goals, they will not cooperate with others unless cooperation can improve their ow...
