—Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a physical (PHY) layer technology that promises high transmission rates, as well as high resistance to noise and multipath effects. However, the impulseb...
— Cooperative communications can help combat fading and hence can significantly increase the capacity of wireless networks. Although various schemes have been proposed to levera...
Abstract. Although an autonomous mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is useful in many scenarios, a MANET connected to the Internet is more desirable. This interconnection is achieved by...
Abstract--We address several inter-related aspects of underwater network design within the context of a cross-layer approach. We first highlight the impact of key characteristics o...
