A Distributed Algorithm for Joint Sensing and Routing in Wireless Networks with Non-Steerable Directional Antennas
Abstract— In many energy-rechargeable wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes must both sense data from the environment, and cooperatively forward sensed data to data sinks. Both ...

Sensor network connectivity with multiple directional antennae of a given angular sum
We investigate the problem of converting sets of sensors into strongly connected networks of sensors using multiple directional antennae. Consider a set S of n points in the plane...

Directional Versus Omnidirectional Antennas for Energy Consumption and k-Connectivity of Networks of Sensors
A network is k-connected if it remains connected after the removal of any k - 1 of its nodes. Assume that n sensors, modeled here as (omni)directional antennas, are dropped random...
