It is often useful to know the geographic positions of nodes in a communications network, but adding GPS receivers or other sophisticated sensors to every node can be expensive. W...

Many applications of wireless ad hoc sensor and actuator networks (WSANs) rely on the knowledge of node locations. These are challenging to obtain when nodes are mobile and are not...
Safe & Sound uses location-aware mobile phones to create a "virtual leash"; a secure zone beyond which a child may not travel. If the child leaves this zone, both ch...
— We investigate the effect of packet delays and packet drops on networked control systems. First we consider the problem of where to locate a controller or state estimator in a...
— This paper discusses a joint decentralized clustering and ranging algorithm for wireless ad-hoc sensor networks. Each sensor uses a random waiting timer and local criteria to d...
