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...
In this paper, we investigate the e ectiveness of applying type-II hybrid ARQ schemes to the transmission of MPEG-2 encoded video streams over xed wireless links in broadband xed ...
This paper addresses the problem of implementing an context model. First, the abstract context model is represented by a network of situations. Two different implementations for t...
Multi-radio (multi-interface, multi-channel) 802.11 and sensor networks have been proposed to increase network capacity and to reduce energy consumption, to name only a few of the...
Accurate power and performance figures are critical to assess the effective design of possible sensor node architectures in Body Area Networks (BANs) since they operate on limite...
