Using certificates for distributed authorizations in computer network systems has been discussed in the literature. However real implementations of the concept are rarely seen. In...
There are a variety of approaches to improve the speed at which large RFID tag populations are being identified. In this paper, we present a transmission control strategy for a co...
We give a new distributed algorithm EasyMAC for the slot assignment for media access control (MAC) of nodes in a sensor network. Our algorithm reduces both the number of messages ...
AbstractThe impact of the use of mobile devices by means of GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) technology to access environmental information in real time, provided by sensors str...
—We characterize the fairness of decentralized medium access control protocols based on CSMA/CA, such as IEEE 802.11, in large multi-hop wireless networks. In particular, we show...
