The design of sustainable wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a very challenging issue. On
the one hand, energy-constrained sensors are expected to run autonomously for long …

The issue of energy balancing in Wireless Sensor Networks is a pivotal one, crucial in their
deployment. This problem can be subdivided in three areas:(i) energy conservation …

The objective of our work is to provide an in-depth analysis and compilation of device-level
strategies for enhancing the energy efficiency of Machine-Type Communication (MTC). The …

Perceptions of lifelike marvels are viewed as the best data source of unconstrained
synchronization. Such synchronization is imperative for the best possible coordination of …

Directional communication in wireless sensor networks minimizes interference and thereby
increases reliability and throughput of the network. Hence, directional wireless sensor …

The directional transmission and reception of data packets in sensor networks minimize the
interference and thereby increase the network throughput, and thus the Directional Sensor …

Today's networks continue to evolve and grow resulting more dense, complex and
heterogeneous networks. This leads to new challenges such as finding new models to …

Observations of natural phenomena are considered to be the best information source of
spontaneous synchronization. Natural phenomena tend to match wireless sensor network …

The problem of extending the lifespan of wireless sensor networks (WSN) based on the
Internet of Things (IoT) has been widely investigated over the last 20 years. This paper …

Sensor networks are an example of a wireless network that needs each sensor to execute
events in synchronization. This synchronization is necessary to coordinate power cycles to …
