—In wireless communication systems, the signal strength/quality generally varies with the distances between transmitters and receivers. As a consequence, the throughput in the MA...
Abstract-- Sensor networks are typically unattended because of their deployment in hazardous, hostile or remote environments. This makes the problem of conserving energy at individ...

A routing protocol is designed considering a particular environment all the time which is not possible in the case of practical ad hoc networks. Because of the uncertainty in topol...
—Most publications on the capacity and performance of wireless ad hoc networks share the underlying assumption of a uniform random distribution of nodes. In this paper, we study ...
