A wireless sensor network designates a system composed of numerous sensor nodes distributed over an area in order to collect information. The sensor nodes communicate wirelessly with each other in order to self-organize into a multi-hop network, collaborat ...
Nodes that build a mobile ad-hoc network participate in a common routing protocol in order to provide multi-hop radio communication. Routing defines how control information is exchanged between nodes in order to find the paths between communication pairs, ...
We are interested in the design of physical-layer aware medium access control (PHY-aware MAC) for self-organized, low power, low data-rate impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) networks. In such networks, energy consumption is much more of a concern than a ...
Extant theory presents two explanations as to how IT inputs might affect firm performance: direct or indirect associations between IT inputs and overall economic performance are proposed. A survey of 550 firms indicates that in the case of internetworking ...
We are interested in the design of a MAC layer for systems that use ultra-wide band (UWB) communication and transmit very little power. We first explore the design space and find, that, for such networks, the optimal MAC should allow concurrent transmissio ...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) comprise a fast-developing research area with a vast spectrum of applications. A WSN design is influenced by many factors such as transmission errors, network topology and power consumption. Consequently, developing a WSN app ...
(The Internet enabling of business operations is affecting the scope, structure, and performance of firms, and this article shows that deeply internetworked firms are more focused, less hierarchical, and form external partnerships more readily. They are al ...
The design of timber rip shells confronts the engineer with major uncertainties during the planning process. The consideration of the elastic compound cross section during structural analysis of curved members by means of conventional calculation methods i ...
In mobile ad hoc networks, nodes act both as terminals and information relays, and they participate in a common routing protocol, such as dynamic source routing (DSR). The network is vulnerable to routing misbehavior, due to faulty or malicious nodes. Misb ...
We address the problem of securing the route discovery in mobile ad hoc networks, proposing a light-weight yet robust routing protocol, the Distance- Vector Secure Routing Protocol (DV-SRP). DV-SRP discovers on-demand multiple routes, which are established ...
