Abstract--Network performance can be increased if the traditionally separated network layers are jointly optimized. Recently, network utility maximization has emerged as a powerful...
: Wireless sensor/actuator networks (WSANs) are emerging rapidly as a new generation of sensor networks. Despite intensive research in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), limited work...
Recent development of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has led to the appearance of many application specific communication protocols which must be energy-efficient. Among those pro...
:This paper introduces RL-MAC, a novel adaptive MediaAccess Control (MAC) protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) that employs a reinforcement learning framework. Existing sche...
—Achieving secure time-synchronization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a challenging, but very important problem that has not yet been addressed effectively. This paper pro...
