Increasingly emerging technologies in micro-electromechanical systems and wireless
communications allows mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs) to be a more and more …

We consider a two-tiered Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consisting of sensor clusters
deployed around strategic locations and base-stations (BSs) whose locations are relatively …

Opportunistic routing [1, 2] was shown to improve the network throughput greatly. The core
idea is to allow any node in the forwarder list, which overhears the transmission and is …

Recently developed classes of wireless networks have blurred the distinction between the
network infrastructure and network clients. Sensor networks, for example, consist of one or …

Virtual backbone has been proposed as the routing infrastructure to alleviate the
broadcasting storm problem in ad hoc networks. Since the nodes in the virtual backbone …

Abstract The goal of Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (M-WSN) is to sense a specific
environment. A commonly considered objective is to organize the work of the sensors such …

Energy efficient routing and power control techniques in wireless ad hoc networks have
drawn considerable research interests recently. In this paper, we address the problem of …

Backbone has been used extensively in various aspects (eg, routing, route maintenance,
broadcast, scheduling) for wireless networks. Previous methods are mostly designed to …
