Range extension is a promising feature offered by cooperative transmission (CT), also
known as virtual multiple-input–single-output (VMISO). Many authors have considered how …

In the sixth-generation (6G) communications, how to deploy and manage massively
connected Internet-of-Things (IoT) nodes will be one of the key technical challenges …

A wireless sensor network (WSN) refers to a network of sensor nodes that collaboratively
work to sense, monitor, and control their surrounding environments. As WSNs are integrated …

Theoretically optimal performance and behavior of a routing protocol are very important
because they can be used to guide the design of practical protocols. Motivated by the …

Smart meters are being deployed globally on a trial basis and are expected to enable
remote reading and demand response among other advanced functions, by setting up a two …

Currently, there is a growing tendency of research on leveraging Wi-Fi signals as sensors for
various IoT applications. We observe that most studies deal with the behavior of wireless …

Recently, there is an increasing trend of research in leveraging Wi-Fi signatures for various
applications. This paper investigates the feasibility of effective Wi-Fi signals coverage in the …

This paper we research on the problem of cooperative virtual multi-input and multi-output
(MIMO) network communication distance under the assumption of nodes placed along an …

We consider two topologies for the deployment of nodes in a one-dimensional network. The
first deployment scenario considers nodes equally spaced on a line, while the second …

Nowadays, the use of sensor nodes for the IoT is widespread; nodes that compose these
networks must possess self‐organizing capabilities and communication protocols that …
