Packet schedule is effective to improve the quality of video streaming over time-varying wireless ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we propose a time-constrained packet scheduling algorithm, which minimizes the video distortion by allocating transmission opportunities to packets under the constraint of playback delay. The problem is formulated in a constrained convex optimization framework and solved...
Due to recent advances in microelectronics, the development of low-cost, small, and energy efficient devices became possible. Those advances led to the birth of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). WSNs consist of a large set of sensor nodes equipped with communication capabilities, scattered in the area to monitor. Researchers focus on several aspects of WSNs. Such aspects include the quality of...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming a viable tool for many monitoring applications. In many cases these applications may be of critical nature where the transmitting of vital information from sensors to base station or sink is crucial, and data loss cannot be tolerated. As a result, the information transmission of wireless sensor networks has various different requirements in performance,...
We introduce the multi-channel flow-aware medium access control protocol, or (MFLAMA), an energy-efficient, schedule-based, multi-channel medium-access control (MAC) protocol designed for data gathering applications in wireless sensor networks. MFLAMA improves the channel utilization by establishing collision-free transmission schedules across multiple channels. Energy efficiency is achieved by preventing...
Traffic and channel-data rate combined with the stream oriented methodology can provide a scheme for offering optimized and guaranteed QoS. In this work a stream oriented modeled scheme is proposed based on each nodepsilas self-scheduling energy management. This scheme is taking into account the overall packet loss in order to form the optimal effective -for the end-to-end connection- throughput response...
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...
