— The inherent near-far effect in wireless networks causes nodes that are further away from the receiver to suffer from throughput degradation, as packets from nodes that are nea...
— In many devices, wireless network interfaces consume upwards of 30% of scarce portable system energy. Extending the system lifetime by minimizing communication power consumptio...
Due to the special characteristics (limited battery power, limited computing capability, low bandwidth, need to collect sensor data from multiple fixed-location source nodes to a...
The IEEE802.11e defines a MAC protocol, which provides EDCA (enhanced distributed channel access) and HCCA (HCF controlled channel access) to support differentiation service over W...
Topology control is the problem of assigning powers to the nodes of an ad hoc network so as to create a specified network topology while minimizing the energy consumed by the netw...
