Abstract— Extending network lifetime of battery-operated devices is a key design issue that allows uninterrupted information exchange among distributive nodes in wireless sensor ...
Improving network lifetime is a fundamental challenge of wireless sensor networks. One possible solution consists in making use of mobile sinks. Whereas theoretical analysis shows...
In this paper, we study the Maximum lifetime Target Coverage problem (MTC), which is to maximize the network lifetime while guaranteeing the complete coverage of all the targets. ...
—Owing to the availability of low-cost and low-power CMOS cameras, Wireless Video Sensor Networks (WVSN) has recently become a reality. However video encoding is still a costly p...
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is envisioned as a cluster of tiny power-constrained devices with functions of sensing and communications. Sensors closer to a sink node have a larg...
