Information on site-specific spectrum characteristics is essential to evaluate and improve the performance of wireless networks. However, it is usually very costly to obtain accur...
We present QoS Geometric Broadcast Protocol (QoSGBP), a novel broadcasting protocol for heterogeneous wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. While broadcasting is a very energy-expe...
