With the explosive growth of embedded computing hardware, it is possible to conceive many new networked robotic applications for diverse domains ranging from urban search and resc...
Abstract For an indoor ultra-wideband (UWB) communication system, the line-of-sight (LOS) between the transmitter and receiver may be frequently blocked by moving people. Blocking ...
- Piezoelectric materials can be used to convert mechanical energy, such as vibration into electrical energy which can be used to power up devices in a smart dust sensing network. ...
—It is well known that max-weight policies based on a queue backlog index can be used to stabilize stochastic networks, and that similar stability results hold if a delay index i...
In this paper we analyze the performance of a distributed queuing medium access control (MAC) protocol designed to execute cooperative ARQ (C-ARQ) schemes at the MAC layer. Due to ...
