— In sensor networks, MAC protocols based on Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) with wakeup and sleep periods have attracted considerable interest because of their low power co...
Software systems embed in them knowledge about the domain in which they operate. However, this knowledge is “latent”. Making such knowledge accessible could be of great value ...
Multimedia and communication algorithms from embedded system domain often make extensive use of floating-point arithmetic. Due to the complexity and expense of the floating-poin...
— Energy efficient operation is of paramount importance for battery-powered wireless nodes. In an effort to conserve energy, standard protocols for WLANs have the provision for w...
