A wireless sensor network with multimedia capabilities typically consists of data sensor
nodes, which sense, for instance, sound or motion, and video sensor nodes, which capture …

The literature on cross-layer protocols, protocol improvements, and design methodologies
for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is reviewed and a taxonomy is proposed. The …

In today's competitive industry marketplace, the companies face growing demands to
improve process efficiencies, comply with environmental regulations, and meet corporate …

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) consist of mesh routers and mesh clients, where mesh
routers have minimal mobility and form the backbone of WMNs. They provide network …

This book presents an in-depth study on the recent advances in Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs). The authors describe the existing WSN applications and discuss the research …

Abstract Information flow in a telecommunication network is accomplished through the
interaction of mechanisms at various design layers with the end goal of supporting the …

We consider optimal control for general networks with both wireless and wireline
components and time varying channels. A dynamic strategy is developed to support all traffic …

We develop a dynamic control strategy for minimizing energy expenditure in a time-varying
wireless network with adaptive transmission rates. The algorithm operates without …

We consider the joint optimal design of the physical, medium access control (MAC), and
routing layers to maximize the lifetime of energy-constrained wireless sensor networks. The …

In this paper, we propose a solution to the scheduling problem in clustered wireless sensor
networks (WSNs). The objective is to provide network-wide optimized time division multiple …
