Recently, technologies related to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) are growing rapidly
particularly sensors, networking, and processing technologies. Accordingly, governments …

Recently, rapid increase of mobile devices pushed the radio frequency (RF)-based wireless
technologies to their limits. Free-space-optical (FSO), aka optical wireless, communication …

Recent research results have demonstrated the feasibility of full-duplex wireless
communication for short-range links. Although the focus of the previous works has been …

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) consist of mesh routers and mesh clients, where mesh
routers have minimal mobility and form the backbone of WMNs. They provide network …

This book presents an in-depth study on the recent advances in Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs). The authors describe the existing WSN applications and discuss the research …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent complex distributed systems that comprise
wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self-organize into arbitrary and …

Due to high directionality and small wavelengths, 60 GHz links are highly vulnerable to
human blockage. To overcome blockage, 60 GHz radios can use a phased-array antenna to …

Wormhole attacks enable an attacker with limited resources and no cryptographic material to
wreak havoc on wireless networks. To date, no general defenses against wormhole attacks …

Directional antennas offer tremendous potential for improving the performance of ad hoc
networks. Harnessing this potential, however, requires new mechanisms at the medium …

Directional antennas in ad hoc networks offer many benefits compared with classical
omnidirectional antennas. The most important include significant increase of spatial reuse …
