— A key challenge in ad-hoc, data-gathering wireless sensor networks is achieving a lifetime of several years using nodes that carry merely hundreds of joules of stored energy. I...
—The development and deployment of distributed network-aware applications and services require the ability to compile and maintain a model of the underlying network resources wit...
—User Fairness aims at fairly distributing the network resources among users, where a user is an entity that can possibly send different flows through different paths. In this p...
Abstract— The vision of ad-hoc networking with Bluetooth includes the concept of devices participating in multiple ”piconets” and thereby forming a ”scatternet”. However,...
