—We consider the rate allocation problem for data aggregation in wireless sensor networks with two objectives: 1) maximizing the lifetime of a local aggregation cluster and, 2) a...
— In wireless ad hoc networks (WANETs), e.g. wireless sensor networks, battery-powered devices are constrained by limited amount of energy. Many WANET applications require that t...
— This paper studies the tradeoff between energy consumption and application performance in wireless sensor networks by investigating the interaction between network lifetime max...
Abstract-- Lifetime maximization is an important optimization problem specific to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) since they operate with limited energy resources which are therefo...
— This paper investigates theoretical aspects of the uneven energy depletion phenomenon recently noticed in sink-based wireless sensor networks. We consider uniformly distributed...
