Routing through a backbone, which is responsible for performing and managing multipoint communication, reduces the communication overhead and overall energy consumption in wireless...
Abstract— Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) employed in monitoring applications require data collected by the sensors to be deposited at specific nodes, referred to as drains. To ...
This paper investigates a class of mobile wireless sensor networks that are unconnected most of the times; we refer to them as delay–tolerant wireless sensor networks (DTWSN). T...
The problem of optimal data gathering in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is addressed by means of optimization techniques. The goal of this work is to lay the foundations to devel...
Most sensor network applications require quality of service guarantees on a network-wide basis, suggesting the need for global network cost optimization. The dynamic and nonunifor...
