Recent studies on directional Media Access Control (MAC) protocols using smart antennas for wireless ad hoc networks have shown that directional MAC protocols outperform traditiona...
In this paper we investigate the problem of uneven energy consumptions in a large class of many-to-one sensor networks. In a many-to-one sensor network, all sensor nodes generate ...
— Mobile ad hoc networking allows nodes to form temporary networks and communicate with each other possibly via multiple hops. By using a special node called the gateway, an ad h...

Mobile devices are still memory-constrained when compared to desktop and laptop computers. Thus, in some circumstances, even while occupied by useful objects, some memory must be ...
—The overlay-based network architecture has been recognized as an effective way to deal with the funneling effect in sensor networks, where sensors closer to the sink are usually...
