This book provides a comprehensive yet easy coverage of ad hoc and sensor networks and
fills the gap of existing literature in this growing field. It emphasizes that there is a major …

Throughout the next decade, 802 wireless systems will become an integral part of fourth
generation (4G) cellular communication systems, where the convergence of wireless and …

There is a vast literature on the throughput analysis of the IEEE 802.11 media access control
(MAC) protocol. However, very little has been done on investigating the interplay between …

ZigBee, a unique communication standard designed for low-rate wireless personal area
networks, has extremely low complexity, cost, and power consumption for wireless …

The recent performance improvements of wireless communication systems are making
possible the use of such networks for industrial applications, which typically impose severe …

One of the main goals of coverage tools is to provide the user with informative presentation
of coverage information. Specifically, information on large, cohesive sets of uncovered tasks …

This paper introduces WiSE, a sender-side, transport-layer protocol that modifies the
standard SCTP protocol. WiSE aims at exploiting SCTP's multihoming capabilities by …

Telemedicine traffic carries critical information with regard to a patients' condition; hence, it
requires the highest transmission priority compared with all other types of traffic in the …
