Abstract--Energy efficiency is critical for wireless sensor networks. The data-gathering process must be carefully designed to conserve energy and extend network lifetime. For appl...
Consider a team of robots equipped with sensors that collaborate with one another to achieve a common goal. Sensors on robots produce periodic updates that must be transmitted to ...
Nodes in sensor fields and in autonomous swarms of mobile robots need to communicate; this usually requires individual nodes to either consume a significant amount of energy, ca...
