Due to the long propagation delay and high error rate of acoustic channels, it is very challenging to provide reliable data transfer for time-critical applications in an energy-ef...
—The presence of heterogeneous nodes (i.e., nodes with an enhanced energy capacity or communication capability) in a sensor network is known to increase network reliability and l...
