Wireless communication is a trend nowadays for the industrial environment. A number of
different technologies have emerged as solutions satisfying strict industrial requirements …

It is anticipated that constrained devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) will often operate in
groups to achieve collective monitoring or management tasks. For sensitive and mission …

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become a leading solution in many
important applications such as intrusion detection, target tracking, industrial automation …

Due to the increasing number of sensors deployed in modern vehicles, intra-vehicular
wireless sensor networks (IVWSNs) have recently received a lot of attention in the …

Convergecast, which is essentially the inverse of broadcast, can be used for data collection
in a wireless sensor network. This paper addresses the problem of convergecast in a …

This paper analyzes scheduling in a data gathering network with data compression. The
nodes of the network collect some data and pass them to a single base station. Each node …

In WSNs the communication traffic is often time and space correlated, where multiple nodes
in a proximity start transmitting simultaneously. Such a situation is known as spatially …

Wireless sensor networks consist of spatially distributed sensor nodes, which can sense the
environment by collecting, processing and transmitting the data to sink node. A critical issue …

Although link scheduling has been used to improve the performance of data gathering
applications, unfortunately, existing link scheduling algorithms are either centralized or they …

Recently there is a growing interest of incorporating cellular architecture (with wired base
stations and last-hop wireless connections) into fieldbuses to support mobile real-time …
