Protocols designed to provide error-free communications over lossy links, at both data link and transport layers, commonly employ the idea of sliding windows, which is based on th...
Gossip-based epidemic protocols are used to aggregate data in distributed systems. This fault-tolerant approach does neither require maintenance of any global network state nor kno...
Abstract--Energy efficiency is critical for wireless sensor networks. The data-gathering process must be carefully designed to conserve energy and extend network lifetime. For appl...
