In this paper we present a proxy-level scheduler that can significantly improve QoS in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks while at the same time reducing the overall power con...
—Providing energy-efficient continuous data collection services is of paramount importance to Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications. This paper proposes a new power manageme...
recently, mobile agents have been used to solve many problems in wireless sensor networks. Agents are usually transferred from a node to another to aggregate the sensed data and si...
