This book presents an in-depth study on the recent advances in Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs). The authors describe the existing WSN applications and discuss the research …

In the development of various large-scale sensor systems, a particularly challenging
problem is how to dynamically organize the sensors into a wireless communication network …

Broadcasting, in the context of ad-hoc networks, is a costly operation, and thus topology
control has been proposed to achieve efficient broadcasting with low interference and low …

Cooperative communication (CC) exploits space diversity through allowing multiple nodes
cooperatively relay signals to the receiver so that the combined signal at the receiver can be …

Demand for clean products and services is increasing as society is becoming increasingly
aware of climate change. In response, many enterprises are setting explicit sustainability …

This paper builds upon the foundation and clarifies specifications for a necessary security
protocol in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with cooperative communications. It is …

Cooperative communication is becoming an attractive technology as it can greatly improve
the spatial diversity without additional antennas. This novel communication paradigm can …

Due to the scarce bandwidth and limited power supply in mobile terminals, performance and
energy consumption in wireless communications must be continually focused upon …

Cost-effective topology control is critical in wireless sensor networks. While much research
has been carried out in this aspect using various methods, no attention has been made on …

The practical limitations and challenges of radio frequency (RF) based communication
networks have become increasingly apparent over the past decade, leading researchers to …
