End-to-end fairness in a sensor network ensures that data from each sensor has an equal (or weighted) chance to reach the sink. It eliminates the problem that data flows from sensors at some locations (close to the sink) obtain most network bandwidth, while flows from sensors at other locations (far away from the sink) are starved. Existing fairness solutions assume single-path routing, which reduces...
This paper explores the attributes, layering models and objective functions in cross layer designs for mobile ad hoc wireless networks by taking all the statistical characteristics and constraints from the physical (PHY) layer, media access control (MAC) layer and network (NET) layer into consideration. This paper reviews the entire network optimization across all the PHY/MAC/NET layers. At the PHY...
In this paper, we propose a cognitive radio-based multi-user resource allocation framework for mobile ad hoc networks using multi-carrier DS CDMA modulation over a frequency-selective fading channel. In particular, given pre-existing communications in the spectrum where the system is operating, in addition to potential narrow-band interference, a channel sensing and estimation mechanism is provided...
This paper discusses the problem of achieving bandwidth and energy-efficient neighborhood group key distributions (NGKD) in tactical wireless sensor networks (TWSNs). We present new techniques that improve NGKD performance while also improving the resilience of TWSNs against attacks that combine node capture with message interception. This is accomplished without introducing additional communications...
Spread spectrum communication - often called code-division multiple access - has been widely adopted over the years for many types of interference-challenged wireless communication systems including cellular and cordless telephones, wireless LANs and PANs, military applications, and global positioning systems. In this article we explore whether CDMA, in either its frequency hopping (FH) or direct...
