Abstract-- We present a new, biologically-inspired algorithm for the problem of covering a given region with wireless "units" (sensors or base-stations). The general prob...
We consider a wireless ad-hoc network with random ALOHA transmissions between nodes. However nodes can decide to use the Request-to-Send (RTS) / Clear-to-Send (CTS) protocol for oc...
— Optimizing energy consumption in wireless sensor networks is of paramount importance. There is a recent trend to deal with this problem by introducing mobile elements (sensors ...
One of the main characteristics of wireless ad hoc networks is their node-centric broadcast nature of communication, leading to interferences and spatial contention between adjace...
—We investigate distributed channel-aware random access for networks with arbitrary topologies and traffic distributions, where users can receive traffic from or send traffic ...
