Collisions in underwater acoustic networks can not be tolerated due to the fundamental
differences between underwater acoustic propagation and terrestrial radio propagation …

The radio transceiver of an Internet of Things (IoT) device is often where most of the energy
is consumed. For this reason, most research so far has focused on low-power circuit and …

The presence of many battery-powered sensors in the Internet of Things paradigm calls for
the design of energy-aware protocols. Source coding techniques make it possible to save …

The rapid development of medical sensors has increased the interest in Wireless Body Area
Network (WBAN) applications where physiological data from the human body and its …

A two server private information retrieval (PIR) scheme allows a user U to retrieve the i-th bit
of an n-bit string x replicated between two servers while each server individually learns no …

In recent years, embedded system design has changed due to an increased demand for
computing power and a rising complexity of control tasks. In this paper, we present an …

Wireless communication technologies have the potential to significantly reduce cabling cost,
cut down on weight, and simplify the overall structure of industrial embedded systems …

The present work proposes a duty-cycle-enabled energy-efficient bit-map-assisted (DCE-
EBMA) medium access control (MAC) protocol. The proposed protocol efficiently utilizes the …

The Internet of Things paradigm envisages the presence of many battery-powered sensors
and this entails the design of energy-aware protocols. Source coding techniques allow to …

This paper presents our experiences with SoftToken protocol, a new contention‐free
medium access control protocol for wireless local area network. This new mechanism adds …
