We address the problem of data gathering in adhoc networks. We propose a novel framework where sensor signals are quantized and mapped to a finite field. The network nodes then combine the data from different sensors to form messages that are transmitted t ...
The method of the invention, comprising at the user side: a) checking if the load of a first gateway to which a user terminal device is wirelessly connected, falls below a given low load threshold; b) if said first gateway load has fallen below said given ...
In wireless sensor networks, various applications involve learning one or multiple functions of the measurements observed by sensors, rather than the measurements themselves. This paper focuses on the computation of type-threshold functions which include t ...
Signal superposition and broadcast are important features of the wireless medium. Compute-and-Forward, also known as Physical Layer Network Coding, is a technique exploit- ing these features in order to improve performance of wireless networks. In this pap ...
This paper considers a framework where data from correlated sources are transmitted with help of network coding in ad-hoc network topologies. The correlated data are encoded independently at sensors and network coding is employed in the intermediate nodes ...

Fixed-point arithmetic leads to efficient implementations. However, the optimization process required to size each of the implementation signals can be prohibitively complex. In this paper, we introduce a new divide-and-conquer method that is able to appro ...
Active House is a vision of buildings that create healthier and more comfortable lives for their occupants without impacting negatively on the climate. The concept is based on a responsive behavior of the building, capable to answer instantly to the climat ...
This work studies how to build wireless network protocols that achieve better reliability, lower delay and higher throughput than existing alternatives by using network coding and by exploiting the broadcast nature of the wireless channel. In the first par ...
Smart Wireless Body Sensor Nodes (WBSNs) are a novel class of unobtrusive, battery-powered devices allowing the continuous monitoring and real-time interpretation of a subject’s bio-signals. One of its most relevant applications is the acquisition and anal ...
In this paper we study interference management in wireless networks with bursty user traffic. In each time slot, whether a user is on or off for transmission is governed by its own Bernoulli random state. At each transmitter, the states of activities of ot ...
