— Cooperative communications can help combat fading and hence can significantly increase the capacity of wireless networks. Although various schemes have been proposed to levera...
— Directional antennas are a promising option for use in ad-hoc networks for a variety of reasons, such as increased spatial reuse, reduced interference and enabling more effici...
Abstract— In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), reducing energy consumption of resource constrained sensor nodes is one of the most important issues. In this paper, we propose a ta...
- In this paper, we study and quantify the impact of the most widely used security protocols, such as 802.1x, EAP, IPSEC, SSL and RADIUS, in wireless local area networks (WLANs). B...
In this paper, we propose a new Distributed Cooperation and Diversity Combining framework. Our focus is heterogeneous networks with devices equipped with two types of radio frequen...
