Opportunistic networks are one of the fast developing research areas in mobile communications. Under opportunistic networks mobile nodes try to communicate with other nodes without any prior information and knowledge about ...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become an important part of our lives as they can be used in vast application areas from disaster relief to health care. As a consequence the life span and the energy consumption of a ...

The objective of reducing energy consumption at the sensor nodes has become a key research area for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in recent years. With the steady increase in the cost of energy the existing algorithms ...

Following the success of accurate location estimation for outdoor environments locating targets in indoor environments has become an important research area. Accurate location estimation of targets for indoor environments ...

In this paper we propose an energy-efficient multi-hop routing protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The nature of sensor nodes with limited batteries and inefficient protocols are the key limiting factors of the ...

Packet scheduling algorithms are developed in order to use shared transmission resources efficiently. Various application packets such as real and non-real time packets might have different QoS requirements and traditional ...

Opportunistic networks is one of the fast developing research areas in mobile communications. Under opportunistic networks mobile nodes try to communicate with other nodes without any prior information and knowledge about ...

As the typical characteristics of traffic in data networks are bursty which is difficult to handle traffic shaping schemes are used for regulating the average rate and hurstiness of a flow of data that enters into the ...

Understanding expression levels of proteins and their interactions is a key factor to diagnose and explain the Down syndrome which can be considered as the most prevalent reason of intellectual disability in human beings. ...

The limited battery supply of a sensor node is one of the most important factors that limit the lifetime of the WSNs. As a consequence increasing the lifetime of WSNs through energy efficient mechanisms has become a ...
