We present the design and implementation of Scepter, a system with explicit infrastructure support to reduce energy consumption and improve battery life of mobile devices. Scepter focuses on effective techniques that can reduce the total number of bits transmitted to communicate the same information from a mobile device to a base station. Scepter combines multiple techniques into a single unified...
Recent advances in integrated circuit technology scaling, analog circuitry, and wireless communication have created the possibility for complex low noise, low power wireless instrumentation to be deployed in previously impossible scenarios, particularly in the realm of wireless sensing for biology research and biomedical applications. The generation of portable, autonomous devices made possible by...
Emergent behavior in social insects has inspired a new class of robots called swarm robots. However, computational and economic constraints regarding inter-robot communication still persist. This paper introduces a low cost architecture facilitating co-operative searching and transport through a master-slave swarm robot concept. Especially, we focus on the directional movement of the slave robots...
It is well known that a packet loss in 802.11 can happen either due to collision or an insufficiently strong signal. However, discerning the exact cause of a packet loss, once it occurs, is known to be quite difficult. In this paper we take a fresh look at this problem of wireless packet loss diagnosis for 802.11-based communication and propose a promising technique called COLLIE. COLLIE performs...
Network wide broadcasting is a fundamental operation in ad hoc networks. In broadcasting, a source node sends a message to all the other nodes in the network. In this paper, we consider the problem of collision-free broadcasting in ad hoc networks. Our objective is to minimize the latency and the number of transmissions in the broadcast. We show that minimum latency broadcasting is NP-complete for...
