Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarm networks have been presented as a promising
paradigm for conducting monitoring, and inter-connecting tasks in unattended or even …

Wireless sensor networks have been extensively employed in different data collection and
monitoring applications because of their serviceability in harsh environments. The …

Existing cascading models for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) cannot correctly reflect the
traffic feature of WSNs. In this work, we build a more practical cascading model for WSNs, in …

Mobile sensor networks (MSNs) have emerged from the interaction between mobile robotics
and wireless sensor networks. MSNs can be deployed in harsh environments, where …

Connectivity restoration is essential for ensuring continuous operation in wireless sensor
networks (WSNs). However, existing works lack enough network robustness when suffering …

In heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (HWSN), sensor nodes may fail due to running
out of battery power or sudden damage. This causes HWSN being partitioned to a number of …

Connectivity restoration plays an important role in maintaining the long-term operation in
wireless sensor networks (WSNs), especially, in environment-harsh cases. However, current …

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are gaining substantial recognition because of
their utility in inhospitable environments where humans have restricted accessibility. The …

Reliable connectivity restoration mechanism is essential for retaining the prolonged network
functioning of Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs). WSANs operate in harsh or …

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) consist of nodes associated in an ad hoc
manner to perform sensing tasks for information gathering and acting functions on the basis …
