We present the definition and performance evaluation of a protocol for building and maintaining a connected backbone among the nodes of a wireless sensor networks (WSN). Building ...
An important objective of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to reliably sense data about the environment in which they are deployed. Reliability in WSNs has been widely studied in...
Abstract. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) deployed in hostile environments suffer from a high rate of node failure. We investigate the effect of such failure rate on network conn...
— In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling sensor activity to maximize network lifetime while maintaining both discrete targets coverage and network connectivity. We ...
In this paper, we present a middleware architecture for coordination services in sensor networks that facilitates interaction between groups of sensors which monitor different env...
