Federating partitioned Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in Outdoor Environment Monitoring (OEM), where the deployed sensor nodes are prone to significant damage and harsh operational conditions, becomes a necessity to prolong the WSN lifetime. Consequently, redundancy-based deployment strategies have been extensively studied in the literature. However, federating WSNs using node redundancy is expensive...
Ultra-wideband (UWB) communications has emerged as a burgeoning technology for high data rate wireless personal area networks (WPANs). In this paper, we propose a novel resource utilization mechanism (RUM) for improving the throughput in multi-rate UWB-based WPANs. RUM is intended to remedy a critical issue in both unicast and multicast transmissions. In unicast (single- and multi-hop), the connectivity...
In this paper, we investigate the performance of a cooperative network with adaptive decode-and-forward (DF) relaying over time-selective frequency-flat Rayleigh fading channels. In adaptive DF relaying, only a subset of the available relays with "good" channels are allowed to participate in the relaying phase. The destination combines the direct and the relayed signals using maximal ratio...
Abstract-In this work we introduce a new routing protocol for Wireless Ad hoc Networks specifically designed for VoIP. Based on modifications to standard geographic routing protocols, our new protocol is designed to deliver two key attributes that hitherto are not simultaneously present in any other single ad hoc routing protocol. Specifically, our protocol maximizes VoIP capacity whilst remaining...
We revisit the problem of scheduling the sources transmissions in a many-to-one flow to provide reliable communication between n sources and a single destination. The performance of coding-aware scheduling is studied based on both digital network coding (DNC) and analog network coding (ANC). We discuss some special cases in which an optimal ANC-based schedule can be constructed efficiently. Finally,...
In this paper, we present a new technique that uses deterministic binary network coding in a distributed manner to enhance the resiliency of sensor-to-base information flow against packet loss. First, we show how to use network coding to tolerate a single packet loss, and then we extend the solution to tolerate multiple losses. Moreover, we study the coding efficiency issue and introduce the idea...
