Today Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can be found in many application areas, eg they
are used in smart home systems or in industrial settings in order to monitor and control …

This paper considers the type of sensor networks devoted to continuous monitoring.
Typically, these networks constitute the hardware support for many environmental …

The data throughput that a wireless sensor network (WSN) can guarantee is influenced by a
plethora of concurrent causes. Among those, limited connectivity and medium access control …

Load is a key magnitude for studying network performance for large-scale wireless sensor
networks that are expected to support pervasive applications like personalized health-care …

Stochastic analysis of wireless sensor networks becomes exceedingly hard as the number
of nodes in a network grows large. In this paper we intend to address this issue by proposing …

We present a system level design methodology for clustered wireless sensor networks
based on a semi-random communication protocol called SERAN, a mathematical model that …

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are expected to be the next technology to have a huge
impact on society. WSNs consist of a large number of tiny sensors which integrate sensing …

SERAN is a two-layer (routing and MAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks in
manufacturing plants. At both layers, SERAN combines a randomized and a deterministic …

We consider the IEEE 802.11 RTS/CTS Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol and its
Sensor Networks variant, namely SMAC. We derive analytical results for the expected …

We develop an approximate analytical technique for evaluating the performance of multi-
hop networks based on beaconless IEEE 802.15. 4 (the “ZigBee” PHY and MAC), a popular …
