Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are typically characterized by a limited energy supply at sensor nodes. Hence, energy efficiency is an important issue in the system design and op...
A lifetime of several years for wireless sensor nodes can be achieved if their activity period is minimized. This can be done by using low duty cycle protocols. One of the challeng...

— Medium access control (MAC) protocols for wireless packet networks usually need to be distributed for flexibility and robustness. In a distributed way, however, collision dete...
Although directional antennas have been used in mobile communications systems for quite a long time, realistic applications of directional or smart antennas in wireless ad hoc net...
The wireless mesh network has been an emerging technology in recent years. Because the transmission medium used in networking backhaul APs is radio, the wireless mesh network is n...
