In wireless sensor networks, many applications are based on a two-tier architecture. In a typical two-tier architecture, nodes are grouped into clusters and communicate with a cluster head (CH); the CH then transmits compressed data to the base station (BS). In this paper, we mainly focus on the communication between CHs and the BS. The communication between the CH-BS could be accomplished with traditional...
In this paper, we propose a cross-layer optimization approach that exploits retransmission diversity in wireless CDMA communications. Conventionally, data packets that are not correctly detected are usually dropped. These dropped packets can be used to help data packet detection. By exploiting all the retransmitted packets, data packets can be correctly detected with higher probability. The proposed...
In this paper, we address the issue of transmission power control (TPC) in wireless ad hoc networks. Power control plays an important role in energy saving and network performance enhancement. However, the existing TPC schemes either face the problem of hidden and exposed terminal or have additional hardware requirements. We propose a novel distributed power control protocol, called Receiver Initiated...
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...
