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...
Experiments with wireless sensor networks have shown that unidirectional communication links are quite common. What is even more, they have also shown that the range of a unidirect...
Abstract--Intentional interference constitutes a major threat for communication networks operating over a shared medium where availability is imperative. Jamming attacks are often ...
This paper presents a header compression algorithm that unlike previous protocols is capable of compressing MAC headers in a multiple-access (shared) channel. Previous schemes coul...
Due to the fragility of small sensors, their finite energy supply and the loss of packets in the wireless channel, reports from sensors may not reach the sink node. In this paper ...
