Quorum-based Power Saving (QPS) protocols have been proposed for ad hoc networks (e.g., IEEE 802.11 ad hoc mode) to increase energy efficiency and prolong the operational time of...
A multi-object operation incurs communication or synchronization overhead when the requested objects are distributed over different nodes. The object pair correlations (the probab...
