—E-limited (or K-limited) scheduling is attractive because its performance is close to that of the exhaustive scheduling which is proven to be the optimal polling scheme for symm...
Abstract— Data gathering is one of the most important services provided by wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Since the predominant traffic pattern in data gathering services is m...
— Channel-aware scheduling strategies, such as the Proportional Fair algorithm for the CDMA 1xEV-DO system, provide an effective mechanism for improving throughput performance in...
Abstract--If we are to deploy sensor applications in a realistic business context, we must provide innovative middleware services to control and enforce required system behavior; i...
— While many protocols for sensor network security provide confidentiality for the content of messages, contextual information usually remains exposed. Such information can be c...
