Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology for low-cost, unattended monitoring
of a wide range of environments. Their importance has been enforced by the recent delivery …

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 …

The wireless sensor network (WSN) technology spawns a surge of unforeseen applications.
The diversity of these emerging applications represents the great success of this technology …

The application of mathematical analysis to the study of wireless ad hoc networks has met
with limited success due to the complexity of mobility and traffic models, the dynamic …

We propose an approach to topology control based on the principle of maintaining the
number of neighbors of every node equal to or slightly below a specific value k. The …

In this paper, we consider the neighbor discovery problem in wireless ad hoc networks with
directional antennas. One key performance measure is how long it takes to discover all the …

Many MAC sub-layer protocols for supporting the usage of directional antennas in ad hoc
networks have been proposed in literature. However, there remain two open issues that are …

In this paper we propose a novel topology-control algorithm, called edge betweenness
centrality (EBC). EBC is based on the concept of betweenness centrality, which has been …

Topology control, wherein nodes adjust their transmission ranges to conserve energy and
reduce interference, is an important feature in wireless ad hoc networks. Contrary to most of …

This fully updated second volume of the highly successful WWRF Book of Visions is a
unique and timely book, presenting up-to-the-minute ideas and trends in mobile …
