We consider networks of impulse-radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) devices. We are interested in the architecture, design, and performance evaluation of these networks in a low data-rate, self-organized, and multi-hop setting. IR-UWB is a potential physical la ...
According to most technology pundits, progress in wireless and sensor networks will lead us into a world of ubiquitous computing, in which myriads of tiny, untethered sensors and actuators will communicate with each other. Information technology will thus ...
The Internet of Things, emerging pervasive and sensor networks are low data-rate wireless networks with, a priori, no specific topology and no fixed infrastructure. Their primary requirements are twofold: First, low power consumption and, due to environmen ...
Rate and diversity impose a fundamental trade-off in wireless communication. High-rate space-time codes come at a cost of lower reliability (diversity), and high reliability (diversity) implies a lower rate. However, wireless networks need to support appli ...
It is now commonly accepted that the unit disk graph used to model the physical layer in wireless networks does not reflect real radio transmissions, and that a more realistic model should be considered for experimental simulations. Previous work on realis ...
The design of efficient IEEE 802.11 physical (PHY) rate adaptation algorithms is a challenging research topic and usually the issues surrounding their implementations on real 802.11 devices are not disclosed. In this paper, we identify and evaluate the key ...
Nowadays, a wide variety of terminals are proposed to nomadic users. Generally these terminals provide wireless communication operating at frequencies between one and a few GHz. For technical reasons, including multiple access to the communication channel ...
The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is poised to become the global standard for low data rate, low energy consumption wireless sensor networks (WSN). By assigning the same sets of contention access parameters for all data frames and nodes, the contention access per ...
Most papers addressing consensus in wireless ad hoc networks adopt system models similar to those developed for wired networks. These models are focused towards node failures while ignoring link failures, and thus are poorly suited for wireless ad hoc netw ...
Wireless social community networks formed by users with a WiFi access point have been created as an alternative to traditional wireless networks that operate in the licensed spectrum. By relying on access points owned by users for access, wireless communit ...
