— What is the fastest rate at which we can collect a stream of aggregated data from a set of wireless sensors organized as a tree? We explore a hierarchy of techniques using real...
— A class of CSMA protocols used in a broad range of wireless applications uses synchronized contention where nodes periodically contend at intervals of fixed duration. While se...
— This paper considers two important issues for video sensor network, (1) timely delivery of captured video stream and (2) energy-efficient network design. Based on network calc...
