This paper addresses fault-tolerant topology control in a heterogeneous wireless sensor network consisting of several resource-rich supernodes, used for data relaying, and a large...
— Various results to date have demonstrated the advantages of one or several relay nodes assisting transmissions in a wireless network. In many practical scenarios, not all nodes...
Abstract-In this paper, we investigate the problem of providing QoS to end-to-end flows in multihop ad hoc networks with channel errors through packet scheduling. Each flow is asso...
Abstract: We present PERT, a power-efficient scheme to deliver real-time data packets in sensor networks. Time-sensitive sensor data is common in applications such as hazard monito...
Nodes in sensor fields and in autonomous swarms of mobile robots need to communicate; this usually requires individual nodes to either consume a significant amount of energy, ca...
