In this paper we present Clustering Protocol (CP) for sensor networks. Clustering techniques are used by different protocols and applications to increase scalability and reduce de...
—In multi-rate wireless LANs, throughput-based fair bandwidth allocation can lead to drastically reduced aggregate throughput. To balance aggregate throughput while serving users...

Several studies in network traffic characterization have concluded that network traffic is self-similar and therefore not readily amenable to statistical multiplexing in a distr...
By embedding sensors in mobile devices, it is possible to exploit the ubiquitous presence of these devices to construct applications for large-scale sensing and monitoring of envi...
—A major benefit of employing network coding (NC) in cooperative communications (CC) is its ability to reduce time-slot overhead. Such approach is called network-coded CC (or NC...
With the growth of the Internet and E-commerce, bipartite rating networks are ubiquitous. In such bipartite rating networks, there exist two types of entities: the users and the o...

Ad hoc networks are dynamic networks formed "on the fly" by a set of nodes. Achieving secure routing in such networks is a big challenge. Asymmetric signature schemes pr...
In theories of cognition that view the mind as a system of interacting agents, there must be mechanisms for aggregate decision-making, such as voting. Here we show that certain vo...
