— With the increasing demand for secure and high-quality communications in public access wireless IP networks, it is very important to have an in-depth understanding of the relat...
We use a constrained optimization framework to derive fundamental scaling laws for both unstructured sensor networks (which use blind sequential search for querying) and structure...
In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), spectrum sensing is key to opportunistic spectrum access while preventing any unacceptable interference to primary users’ communications. Alt...
—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...

Sensor network applications are generally characterized by long idle durations and intermittent communication patterns. The traffic loads are typically so low that overall idle d...
