Nonconvex optimization becomes an indispensable and powerful tool for the analysis and
design of Communication Systems (CS) since the last decade. As an innovative approach to …

Packet radio networks have attracted many applications due to their flexible structure and
ability to provide high-speed wireless communication between nodes distributed over a …

Disasters can be natural and human-initiated events that interrupt the usual functioning of
people on a large scale. Region where disasters have occurred causes hazards to the …

In this paper we tackle the problem of co-ordinating transmission of data across a Wireless
Mesh Network. The single task nature of mesh nodes imposes simultaneous activation of …

Efficient design of wireless networks is a challenging task. Recently, the concept of cross-
layer design in wireless networks has been investigated extensively. In this work, we present …

Over the past 60 years, Operations Research (OR) has emerged as one of the most exciting,
fast-paced, and interdisciplinary fields of mathematics. Since its rebirth during World War II …

It is now widely acknowledged that packet scheduling can have a significant impact in the
overall energy consumption levels of wireless networks. In this paper, a low complexity …

Treating clock drift to avoid message collision and loss is a major challenge when the Time
Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol is used to schedule communication over a shared …

Messages in wireless Ad hoc networks may require intermediate multi-hop forwarding from
the source to the target node. To find an optimum contend-free time slots scheduling solution …

TDMA architecture is the basis for many frontline tactical networking systems. TDMA
provides predictable throughput and quality of service but, being based on static time slot …
