— In this paper, a novel collision-free MAC scheme supporting multimedia applications is proposed for wireless mesh backbone. The proposed scheme is distributed, simple, and scal...
— Recently Li and Xia have proposed a transmission scheme for wireless relay networks based on the Alamouti space time code and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing to comb...
—Space-time block codes (STBCs) that are single-symbol decodable (SSD) in a co-located multiple antenna setting need not be SSD in a distributed cooperative communication setting...
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 battery-constrained large-scale sensor networks, nodes are prone to random failures due to various reasons, such as energy depletion and hostile environment. Random failures ...
