A novel bionic swarm intelligence algorithm, called ant colony algorithm based on a
blackboard mechanism, is proposed to solve the autonomy and dynamic deployment of …

The authors study the design of heterogeneous two-tier wireless sensor networks (WSNs),
where one tier of nodes is more robust and computationally intensive than the other tier. The …

This chapter presents a method for repairing the connectivity and redundancy of a WSN
using mobile robots. It comprises three mechanisms: diagnosis, connectivity repairing and …

This thesis is an attempt toward design of Ka band RF transceiver for wireless sensor
networks (WSN), for which power consumption, cost and size are critical parameters. In …

In this chapter we will explain the available transceiver architectures and will discus their
specification, to find the best architecture to be used in wireless sensor network (WSN) …

The study of topology in randomly deployed wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is important
in addressing the fundamental issue of stochastic coverage resulting from randomness in …
