Wireless sensor network applications, similarly to other distributed systems, often require a scalable time synchronization service enabling data consistency and coordination. Thi...
Network congestion occurs when offered traffic load exceeds available capacity at any point in a network. In wireless sensor networks, congestion causes overall channel quality t...
In reactive routing protocols, active routes for multihop connections retain their topological structure in spite of node movement over time. Unfortunately, node movements may mak...
A central issue in the design of modern communication networks is that of providing performance guarantees. This issue is particularly important if the networks support real-time t...
