Abstract The advantages of Wireless Sensor Networks can not only compensate for the
limitation of the traditional monitoring technology, but also greatly enhance the accuracy and …

Over years, many efforts are made for the problem of constructing quality fault-tolerant virtual
backbones in wireless network. In case that a wireless network consists of physically …

Finding the minimum connected dominating set (MCDS) is a key problem in wireless sensor
networks, which is crucial for efficient routing and broadcasting. However, the MCDS …

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) are drawing more and more attention along with the
increasingly scarce spectrum resource. A CRN can be easily invalid due to stochastic …

Wireless ad hoc networks have been widely used in many areas. In order to improve
network performance, we often select a connected dominating set (CDS) as its virtual …

The way nodes are arranged in a wireless network can significantly influence performance,
especially information flow. The construction of disjoint virtual backbone networks (DVBNs) …
