Nonconvex optimization becomes an indispensable and powerful tool for the analysis and
design of Communication Systems (CS) since the last decade. As an innovative approach to …

We study the problem of efficient data aggregation in unreliable wireless sensor networks by
designing a fault tolerant data aggregation protocol. A fault tolerant data aggregation …

This paper introduces Blackbone2, a novel fully decentralized algorithm that aims at creating
a robust backbone in ad hoc networks. Backbone robustness is supported by a 2-Connected …

Topology management for mobile ad hoc networks is usually based on the notion of virtual
backbones. We address the notion of quality of such backbones as a multi-objective …

Connected Dominating Sets (CDS) are selected to construct a virtual backbone in Wireless
Sensor Networks (WSNs). Indeed, CDS are used for fault tolerant broadcasting, routing and …

We propose to study the quality of CDS-based virtual backbones generated by fully
distributed algorithms in mobile environments. As virtual-backbones may be used for …

The inherent properties of ad hoc networks such as limited energy, short transmission range
and absence of routers along with node mobility, node failures and link failures make routing …

Broadcasting has a main importance in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Effectively, the
sink node has to collect periodically, data from the environment supervised by sensors. To …

[en] Wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are composed of mobile communicating
devices that self-organize to ubiquitously exchange information over the air. Envisioned …
