In energy constrained wireless sensor networks, energy conservation techniques are to be applied in order to maximize the system lifetime. We tackle the problem of increasing netw...
Energy is the most critical resource in the life of a wireless sensor node. Therefore, its usage must be optimized to maximize the network life. It is known that for higher path l...
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...
— In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling sensor activity to maximize network lifetime while maintaining both discrete targets coverage and network connectivity. We ...
