In multihop wireless sensor networks that are often characterized by many-to-one (convergecast) traffic patterns, problems related to energy imbalance among sensors often appear. S...
The key application scenario of wireless sensor networks is data gathering: sensor nodes transmit data, possibly in a multi-hop fashion, to an information sink. The performance of...
Abstract—Although the characteristics of RF transmissions are physically well understood at the lowest levels of communication design, accurately incorporating power and interfer...

This paper presents a novel method for optimizing sliding window based continuous queries. We deal with two categories of aggregation operations: stepwise aggregation (e.g. COUNT) ...
—Duty-cycle MAC protocols have been proposed to meet the demanding energy requirements of wireless sensor networks. Although existing duty-cycle MAC protocols such as S-MAC are p...
