In this article we provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature on techniques and
protocols for in-network aggregation in wireless sensor networks. We first define suitable …

Diffusion-based molecular nanonetworks exploit the diffusion of molecules, eg, in free space
or in blood vessels, for the purpose of communication. This article comprehensively surveys …

Sensor networks are especially useful in catastrophic or emergency scenarios such as
floods, fires, terrorist attacks or earthquakes where human participation may be too …

This book presents state-of-the-art cross-layer optimization techniques for energy-efficient
information processing and routing in wireless sensor networks. Besides providing a survey …

Designing a communication protocol for sensor networks often involves obtaining the right
trade-off between energy efficiency and end-to-end packet error rate. In this article, we show …

TDMA has been proposed as a MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to its
efficiency in high WSN load. However, TDMA is plagued with shortcomings; we present …

Extending recent works on distributed source coding, this paper considers distributed source-
channel coding and targets at the important application of scalable video transmission over …

We present an overview of embedded network applications and discuss requirements
arising from this analysis. Furthermore, we discuss selected in-network processing …

This paper presents a novel compressive coded modulation (CCM) which simultaneously
achieves joint source-channel coding and seamless rate adaptation. The embedding of …

In a wireless sensor network (WSN), the data transmission technique based on the
cooperative multiple‐input multiple‐output (CMIMO) scheme reduces the energy …
