An important problem in wireless networks, such as wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, is to select a few nodes to form a virtual backbone that supports routing and other tasks s...
— Sensor networks consist of autonomous nodes with limited battery and of base stations with theoritical infinite energy. Nodes can be sleep to extend the lifespan of the networ...
–The many-to-one traffic pattern dominates in sensor networks, where a large number of sensor nodes send data to one sink. A sensor node may only communicate with a small portion...

Abstract. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) deployed in hostile environments suffer from a high rate of node failure. We investigate the effect of such failure rate on network conn...
For a connected graph, representing a sensor network, distributed algorithms for the Set Covering Problem can be employed to construct reasonably small subsets of the nodes, calle...
