Wearable and handheld devices, such smart phones, have come a long way in a very short time as they are capable of providing an extremely vast number of services simply at the click of a button, or even automatically. The diversity of the different embedded sensors (accelerometer, light sensors, etc.) lay the required foundation for the emergence of specialized applications that are capable of serving...
Smart phones are equipped with a variety of sensors (accelerometer, light sensor, etc.), as well as other specialized hardware (camera, flashlight, etc.), giving them this way a plethora of value-added capabilities, apart from the conventional phone call and message exchange. They are able to turn every user into a data gathering agent, since information can be collected from both the environment...
This work examines the IEEE 802.11, used in WLANs (Wireless Local Area Network), and IEEE 802.15.4, for WPANs (Wireless Personal Area Network), along with the Agent-based Rate Adaptive Scheme. The paper presents the Agent-based Rate Adaptive Scheme, which allows each channel to adaptively set the rate for serving a specific transfer. To this, end Agents are being utilized on each node in order to...
