We present the hybrid activation multiple access (HAMA) protocol for ad hoc networks. Unlike previous channel access scheduling protocols that activate either nodes or links only,...
Gossiping is a communication primitive where each node of a network possesses a unique message that is to be communicated to all other nodes in the network. We study the gossiping ...
Abstract. We propose a generic framework and methods for simplification of large networks. The methods can be used to improve the understandability of a given network, to complemen...
In this paper, we assess the state of the art of Quality of Services (QoS) support in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Unlike traditional end-to-end multimedia applications, many n...
Real-world distributed systems and networks are often unreliable and subject to random failures of its components. Such a stochastic behavior affects adversely the complexity of o...
