Communications voids, where geographic greedy forwarding fails to move a packet further
towards its destination, are an important issue for geographic routing in wireless networks …

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

Multi-hop transmission is considered for large coverage areas in bandwidth-limited
underwater acoustic networks. In this paper, we present a scalable routing technique based …

This chapter covers the fundamental aspects of energy harvesting‐based wireless sensor
networks (EHWSNs), ranging from the architecture of an EHWSN node and of its energy …

Severe energy constraints of battery-powered sensor nodes necessitate energy-efficient
communication in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, the vast majority of the …

Power management is an important issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) because
