We propose a hybrid model to alleviate the notorious problem of premature battery depletion in sensor networks: in a first stage, simple sensors are deployed over an area of inter...
Existing work has been focused on minimizing the number of relay nodes to maintain the connectivity of a sensor network. However, we believe replacing batteries for nodes or redepl...
In a wireless sensor network, short range multihop transmissions are preferred to prolong the network lifetime due to super-linear nature of energy consumption with communication d...

Duty cycling is often used to reduce the energy consumption caused by idle listening in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Most studies on WSN protocols define a common duty cycle va...
: Economical power use is essential to allow for long-lasting operation of wireless sensor networks. This applies equally to linear sensor networks as they emerge when sensors are ...
