The vision of wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) is to provide real-time
multimedia applications using wireless sensors deployed for long-term usage. Quality of …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) use the unlicensed industrial, scientific, and medical
(ISM) band for transmissions. However, with the increasing usage and demand of these …

Fire disasters are man-made disasters, which cause ecological, social, and economic
damage. To minimize these losses, early detection of fire and an autonomous response are …

Time-critical and delay-sensitive multimedia applications require more spectrum and
transmission resources. With the provision of cognitive radios (CRs), the underutilized …

A cognitive radio wireless sensor network is one of the candidate areas where cognitive
techniques can be used for opportunistic spectrum access. Research in this area is still in its …

Spectrum inference, also known as spectrum prediction in the literature, is a promising
technique of inferring the occupied/free state of radio spectrum from already …

Distributed and collaborative beamforming (DCBF) scheme in wireless sensor networks
(WSNs) is receiving newfound interest in recent times due to the rapid advancements in …

Wireless sensor networks operating in the license-free spectrum suffer from uncontrolled
interference as those spectrum bands become increasingly crowded. The emerging …

The stringent requirements of wireless multimedia transmission lead to very high radio
spectrum solicitation. Although the radio spectrum is considered as a scarce resource, the …
