The maximum clique problem (MCP) is to determine in a graph a clique (ie, a complete
subgraph) of maximum cardinality. The MCP is notable for its capability of modeling other …

A wireless sensor network is a large collection of sensor nodes with limited power supply
and constrained computational capability. Due to the restricted communication range and …

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) consist of mesh routers and mesh clients, where mesh
routers have minimal mobility and form the backbone of WMNs. They provide network …

We present a new metric for routing in multi-radio, multi-hop wireless networks. We focus on
wireless networks with stationary nodes, such as community wireless networks. The goal of …

This book presents an in-depth study on the recent advances in Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs). The authors describe the existing WSN applications and discuss the research …

A main distinguishing feature of a wireless network compared with a wired network is its
broadcast nature, in which the signal transmitted by a node may reach several other nodes …

Topology Control (TC) is one of the most important techniques used in wireless ad hoc and
sensor networks to reduce energy consumption (which is essential to extend the network …

Even though multiple non-overlapped channels exist in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrum,
most IEEE 802.11-based multi-hop ad hoc networks today use only a single channel. As a …

Multi-hop infrastructure wireless mesh networks offer increased reliability, coverage and
reduced equipment costs over their single-hop counterpart, wireless LANs. Equip** …

The IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standards allow multiple non-overlap** frequency
channels to be used simultaneously to increase the aggregate bandwidth available to end …
