Abstract— We investigate the fairness and throughput properties of a simple distributed scheduling policy, maximal scheduling, in the context of a general ad-hoc wireless network...
Abstract: Since nodes in a sensor network have limited energy, prolonging the network lifetime and improving scalability become important. In this paper, we propose a distributed w...
Current methods of estimating air quality involve assigning a single value called the Air Quality Index (AQI) to a large land area for a 24-hour period based on a very few, sparse...
Very few computer systems that have been deployed in rural developing regions manage to stay operationally sustainable over the long term; most systems do not go beyond the pilot ...
