—Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are typically composed of very small, battery-operated devices (sensor nodes) containing simple microprocessors with few computational resources....
This paper analyzes the energy consumption of ad hoc nodes using IEEE 802.11 interfaces. Our objective is to provide theoretical limits on the lifetime gains that can be achieved b...
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...
Wireless networks are fundamentally limited by the intensity of the received signals and the mutual interference caused by many concurrent transmissions. We consider large wireles...
Abstract. A current challenge in wireless sensor networks is the positioning of sensor nodes for indoor environments without dedicated hardware. Especially in this domain, many app...
