TCP, the dominant transport protocol for Internet applications, suffers severe performance degradation due to packet losses when a wireless link is present in the endto-end path. ...
— Recent studies have shown that designing a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol combined with a cooperative approach may improve the attainable network throughput, despite redu...
— In this paper we analyze the performance of two different routing protocols specifically designed for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for real-time estimation, control, and mo...
— We consider energy efficient packet forwarding with quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In most existing wireless network protocols, route ...
Energy efficiency is a major concern in the design of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and their communication protocols. As the radio transceiver typically accounts for a major por...
