Abstract— The 802.15.4 WSN standard provides optional reliability through positive acknowledgments. Since positive-ACKs are not designed for energy efficiency, there is significa...
—In wireless ad-hoc sensor networks, an important issue often faced in geographic greedy forwarding routing is the “local minimum phenomenon” which is caused by deployment ho...
Abstract—To achieve scalability, energy-efficiency, and timeliness, wireless sensor network deployments increasingly employ in-network processing. In this paper, we identify sin...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have emerged as the enabling technology for a wide range of applications. In the context of environmental monitoring, especially in urban scenarios...
