Abstract. For a typical portable handheld device, the backlight accounts for a significant percentage of the total energy consumption (e.g., around 30% for a Compaq iPAQ 3650). Su...
The perception of future wireless mesh network (WMN) deployment and usage is rapidly evolving. WMNs are now being envisaged to provide citywide "last-mile" access for nu...
This paper analyzes distributed asynchronous power and rate control for wireless ad hoc networks. Importantly, all network transmitters are considered to be independent of any mana...
Autonomous software agents provide a promising solution to the needs of decentralised networked systems, able to adapt their behaviour in a complex and dynamically changing environ...
In emergency scenarios we can obtain a more effective coordination among team members constituting a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) through the use of reconfigurable systems. This ...
