Range extension is a promising feature offered by cooperative transmission (CT), also
known as virtual multiple-input–single-output (VMISO). Many authors have considered how …

Effective techniques for extending lifetime in multi-hop wireless sensor networks include
duty cycling and, more recently introduced, cooperative transmission (CT) range extension …

Duty cycling (DC) has been proven to be an efficient mechanism to reduce energy
consumption in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). On the other hand, cooperative …

A Markov Decision Process (MDP) framework is presented for modeling the lifetime of Multi-
hop Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The model applies to both non-cooperative and …

We present a Markovian decision process (MDP) framework for multihop wireless sensor
networks (MHWSNs) to bound the network performance of both energy constrained (EC) …

Energy efficiency is one of the major goals for achieving green wireless communications.
The recent growth in ubiquitous wireless connections and multimedia applications demands …

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) became one of the emergent networks that are used in
many real life applications. They are also used in many of the critical applications such as …
