Since the emergence of wireless communication networks, a plethora of research papers
focus their attention on the quality aspects of wireless links. The analysis of the rich body of …

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 …

We present empirical measurements of the packet delivery performance of the latest sensor
platforms: Micaz and Telos motes. In this article, we present observations that have …

In scenario where radio frequency identification (RFID) readers become increasingly
common in hand held devices, the radios are prone to several interferences not only from …

Many rural and remote communities around the world see themselves on the wrong side of
the digital divide. In particular, there is evidence to suggest that there is a growing digital …

To prolong battery life of mobile devices, image processing applications often exploit
offloading techniques which run some or all of the computations on remote servers …

Researches about multi-radio mesh networks have mostly focused on channel allocation
under internal interference. However, the deployment of WMNs in unlicensed bands of …

Rural areas have very low revenue potential. The major issue in providing low-cost
broadband to rural areas is to provide reliable backhaul connections that spread over tens …

The throughput of a wireless network is often limited by interference caused by multiple
concurrently active nodes. The conventional approach of using a “one-transmission-ata …

We consider the scenario where long-distance point-to-point wireless links are established
over tidal estuaries to bring Internet access to rural communities living in coastal villages …
