A fundamental issue in the design of a wireless sensor network is to devise mechanisms to make efficient use of its energy, and thus, extend its lifetime. The information about th...

In contention-based sensor networks, nodes compete to access a shared channel for data transmission and collision is a common challenge. For power conservation, periodical active/s...
Wireless sensor network consists of small battery powered sensors. Therefore, energy consumption is an important issue and several schemes have been proposed to improve the lifetim...
In this paper, we introduce PANEL, a position-based aggregator node election protocol for wireless sensor networks. The novelty of PANEL with respect to other aggregator node elec...
In query-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the system must perform data sensing and retrieval and possibly aggregate data as a response at runtime. Since a WSN is often deplo...
