Clustering is an important research topic for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) because
clustering makes it possible to guarantee basic levels of system performance, such as …

Clustering became relevant in the past as a solution for the scalability problems of ad hoc
networking, but, the unsuccessful application of ad hoc solutions to real scenarios, such as …

Learn all you need to know about wireless sensor networks! Protocols and Architectures for
Wireless Sensor Networks provides a thorough description of the nuts and bolts of wireless …

A wireless network consisting of a large number of small sensors with low-power
transceivers can be an effective tool for gathering data in a variety of environments. The data …

In this paper, we propose an on-demand distributed clustering algorithm for multi-hop packet
radio networks. These types of networks, also known as ad hoc networks, are dynamic in …

Are you involved in designing the next generation of wireless networks? With spectrum
becoming an ever scarcer resource, it is critical that new systems utilize all available …

As the field of communications networks continues to evolve, the challenging area of
wireless sensor networks is rapidly coming of age. Recent advances have made it possible …

We consider a two-tiered Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consisting of sensor clusters
deployed around strategic locations and base-stations (BSs) whose locations are relatively …

Since nodes in a sensor network have limited energy, prolonging the network lifetime and
improving scalability become important. In this paper, we propose a distributed weight …

We consider a heterogeneous sensor network in which nodes are to be deployed over a unit
area for the purpose of surveillance. An aircraft visits the area periodically and gathers data …
