Due to the shared medium nature of wireless networks, the uncertainties caused by collisions and interferences make the Quality of Service (QoS) issue harder than its wired counte...
— In cellular networks, relays and/or mobiles can cooperate to improve the overall system performance. For example, once the transmission from a base station with multiple antenn...
—Sensor networks represent a new frontier in technology that holds the promise of unprecedented levels of autonomy in the execution of complex dynamic missions by harnessing the ...
Research domains such as active networks, ad-hoc networks, ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, grid computing, and sensor networks, clearly show that computer networks will...
