In this paper, the impact of user relaying on the behavior of a relay node, which acts as the source node at the same time, is analyzed in a wireless relay network at the packet le...

Abstract— In recent years, network coding has been investigated as a method to obtain improvements in wireless networks. A typical assumption of previous work is that relay nodes...
Scalability and extended lifetime are two critical design goals of any large scale wireless sensor network. A two-tiered network model has been proposed recently for this purpose....
Recent analytical and experimental work demonstrate that IEEE 802.11-based wireless mesh networks are prone to turbulence. Manifestations of such turbulence take the form of large...

—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
Abstract— When multiple paths are available between communicating hosts, application quality can be improved by switching among them to always use the best one. The key to such a...
This paper considers a sensor network where relay nodes cooperate in order to minimize the total energy consumption for the unicast transmission of a message from a single source ...

— This paper introduces broadcasting relay nodes for orthogonal multiuser channels. The underlying idea is that a single relay node is shared by multiple source-destination pairs...
—Topology control problems are concerned with the assignment of power levels to the nodes of an ad-hoc network so as to maintain a specified network topology while minimizing th...
— Existing work on placing additional relay nodes in wireless sensor networks to improve network connectivity typically assumes homogeneous wireless sensor nodes with an identica...
