The wireless medium being inherently broadcast in nature and hence prone to interferences
requires highly optimized medium access control (MAC) protocols. This holds particularly …

Utility companies (electricity, gas, and water suppliers), governments, and researchers have
been urging to deploy communication-based systems to read meters, known as automatic …

In this article, we present the current status of the Internet of Things, and discuss how the
current situation of many" Intranets" of Things should evolve into a much more integrated …

We propose a distributed algorithm, named Distributed Alternating Direction Method of
Multipliers (D-ADMM), for solving separable optimization problems in networks of …

Remote monitoring of animal behaviour in the environment can assist in managing both the
animal and its environmental impact. GPS collars which record animal locations with high …

This paper provides an introduction to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), their applications
in the field of control engineering and elsewhere and gives pointers to future research …

Unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) can provide important communication advantages to ground-
