—The hot spot problem is a typical byproduct of the many-to-one traffic pattern that characterizes most wireless sensor networks: the nodes with the best channel to the sink are ...
— In wireless ad hoc networks (WANETs), e.g. wireless sensor networks, battery-powered devices are constrained by limited amount of energy. Many WANET applications require that t...
—When shortest path routing is employed in large scale multi-hop wireless networks, nodes located near the center of the network have to perform disproportional amount of relayin...
Abstract-- In this paper, we address both lifetime and survivability issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We present an easy-to-implement clustering method called DED (distri...
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...
