An optimal routing and data aggregation scheme for wireless sensor networks is proposed in this paper. The objective is to maximize the network lifetime by jointly optimizing data ...
A MAC protocol specifies how nodes in a sensor network access a shared communication channel. Desired properties of a MAC protocol are: it should be contention-free (avoid collisio...

In this article, we present a simple yet accurate generic analytical model for a family of slotted carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) based medium ac...
By analogy with an approach widely used in physics, we consider a discrete set of base stations (BS) as a continuum of transmitters. This model allows us to establish a simple clos...
Abstract--In a wireless network composed of randomly scattered nodes, the characterization of the distribution of the best signal quality received from a group of nodes is of prima...
