As networks grow in size and complexity, network management has become an increasingly challenging task. Many protocols have tunable parameters, and optimization is the process of...
Abstract. Broadcast (BC) is considered as the most fundamental primitive for fault-tolerant distributed computing and cryptographic protocols. An important and practical variant of...
Nodes in an ad hoc wireless network incur certain costs for forwarding packets since packet forwarding consumes the resources of the nodes. If the nodes are rational, free packet f...
— Traditional Physical Carrier Sensing (PCS), which aims at eliminating hidden terminals in wireless networks, causes too many exposed terminals and deteriorates the throughput p...
While extensive studies have been carried out in the past several years for many sensor applications, they cannot be applied to the network with extremely low and intermittent con...
