Virtual infrastructures or backbones in wireless sensor networks reduce the communication overhead and energy consumption. In this paper, we present BackBone Routing (BBR), a nove...
Abstract-- Due to the limited energy supplies of nodes in wireless networks, achieving energy efficiency is crucial for extending the lifetime of these networks. Thus, we study eff...
Wireless ad hoc networks consist of hundreds to thousands of mobile nodes that are powered by batteries. To prolong the network operational time, energy conservation in such netwo...
—In many wired and wireless networks, nodes process input traffic to satisfy a network constraint (e.g. capacity constraints) and to increase the utility of data in the output ...
Energy is a scarce resource in ad hoc mobile networks, making energy-aware communication crucial. In the absence of a central controlling entity and due to its dynamic network top...
