In contention-based sensor networks, nodes compete to access a shared channel for data transmission and collision is a common challenge. For power conservation, periodical active/s...
—Clustering techniques create hierarchal network structures, called clusters, on an otherwise flat network. Neighboring devices elect one appropriate device as clusterhead. Due t...

Current approaches to K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) search in mobile sensor networks require certain kind of indexing support. This index could be either a centralized spatial index or...
— While many protocols for sensor network security provide confidentiality for the content of messages, contextual information usually remains exposed. Such information can be c...
