— This paper proposes a directional medium access control (DMAC) algorithm for wireless communication networks operating in the 60 GHz bands. Wireless communications using the 60...
Abstract—Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are usually missioned to gather critical information in hostile and adversarial environments, which make them susceptible to compromise a...

We consider the case of sparse mobile sensors deployed to implement missions in challenging environments. This paper explores a notion of tour networks that is well suited to circ...
We use a constrained optimization framework to derive fundamental scaling laws for both unstructured sensor networks (which use blind sequential search for querying) and structure...
— Traditional SLAs, defined by average delay or packet loss, often camouflage the instantaneous performance perceived by end-users. We define a set of metrics for service avai...
