Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) monitor dynamic environments that change rapidly over
time. This dynamic behavior is either caused by external factors or initiated by the system …

Sensor networks with battery-powered nodes can seldom simultaneously meet the design
goals of lifetime, cost, sensing reliability and sensing and transmission coverage. Energy …

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become a leading solution in many important
applications such as intrusion detection, target tracking, industrial automation, smart building …

Low-power wireless devices must keep their radio transceivers off as much as possible to
reach a low power consumption, but must wake up often enough to be able to receive …

The wireless sensor network (WSN) technology spawns a surge of unforeseen applications.
The diversity of these emerging applications represents the great success of this technology …

Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP: The Next Internet explains why the Internet Protocol
(IP) has become the protocol of choice for smart object networks. IP has successfully …

Motivated by stringent power constraints, duty cycling-the practice of turning a mote's radio
on and off to conserve energy-has become a fundamental mechanism in the design of …

Recent advances in wireless technologies, micro-electro-mechanical systems, and
embedded systems enable the popular usage of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless …

Low-power wireless communication is a central building block of cyber-physical systems
