Nowadays, wireless sensor network (WSN) users are demanding more and more in terms of
choice and diversity of applications. Hence, as the diversity of applications is increasing, it is …

In this treatise, we first review some basic routing protocols conceived for ad hoc networks,
followed by some design examples of cross-layer operation aided routing protocols …

This paper presents Fuzzy and Ant Colony Optimization Based Combined MAC, Routing,
and Unequal Clustering Cross-Layer Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (FAMACROW) …

Energy efficiency is a central challenge in sensor networks, and the radio is a major
contributor to overall energy node consumption. Current energy-efficient MAC protocols for …

This paper is not a survey related to generic wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which have
been largely treated in a number of survey papers addressing more focused issues; rather, it …

One of the main causes of energy consumption in Internet of Vehicles (IoV) networks is an ill-
designed network congestion control protocol, which results in numerous packet drops …

Presently, we rely on the wireless devices and systems to not only enable on-demand,
pervasive communications for a large proportion of the population, but also other critical …

The OSI model used to be a common network model for years. In the case of ad hoc
networks with dynamic topology and difficult radio communications conditions, gradual …

The focus in Green ICT (information and communication technology) is on software and
hardware solutions to reduce energy consumption. Here the authors consider the design of …

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) include a large number of sensor nodes that are
connected to each other with the limitations in energy sources, battery life, memory, mobility …
