Most sensor network applications require quality of service guarantees on a network-wide basis, suggesting the need for global network cost optimization. The dynamic and nonunifor...
Sensor networks are designed especially for deployment in adverse and nonaccessible areas without a fixed infrastructure. Therefore, energy conservation plays a crucial role for t...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new medium access control protocol for wireless sensor networks, named LE-MAC (Latency and Energy aware MAC) that aims to minimize data delive...
—Since sensor nodes use batteries as their source of energy, energy-based routing becomes an important requirement to extend network lifetime. This routing is done using the node...
— Sensing coverage is an important issue for sensor networks, since it is viewed as one of the critical measures of performance offered by a sensor network. The design of a routi...
