This paper presents a distributed scheduling algorithm for the support of QoS in multiaccess networks. Unlike most contention-based multiaccess protocols which o er no QoS guarant...
With the emergence of large switched public data networks that are well-suited to connectionless internets, for instance SMDS, it is possible that larger and larger numbers of int...
—Data aggregation, as a primitive communication task in wireless networks, can reduce the communication complexity. However, in-network aggregation usually brings an unavoidable ...
Enterprise networks contain hundreds, if not thousands, of cooperative end-systems. We advocate devoting a small fraction of their idle cycles, free disk space and network bandwid...
Lifetime of a wireless sensor network is affected by key factors such as network architecture, network size, sensor node population model, data generation rate, initial battery bu...
