—IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) uses a binary exponential backoff algorithm to arbitrate simultaneous channel access by multiple stations. When a station sen...
—Passive RFID tags transmit their ID information to a tag reader upon energization by the reader. These transmitted signals, or IDs, may collide if multiple tags transmit their I...
Cooperative caching is an important technique to support efficient data dissemination and sharing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). In order to ensure valid data access, the cach...
Distributed wireless sensor networks have problems on detecting and preventing malicious nodes, which always bring destructive threats and compromise multiple sensor nodes. Theref...
In a large sensor network, in-network data aggregation, i.e., combining partial results at intermediate nodes during message routing, significantly reduces the amount of communic...
