Publish-subscribe (pub-sub) systems are useful for many applications, including pervasive environments. In the latter context, however, great care must be taken to preserve the pr...
— We investigate the problem of efficient resource control for elastic traffic over the EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) and HCCA (Hybrid Coordination Function HCF - ...
Sensor networks are often used to sense the physical world and provide observations for various uses. In hostile environments, it is critical to control the network access to ensur...
—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
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...
