Advanced Energy Efficient Communication Techniques for Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

Abstract

Ad hoc and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have recently attracted growing interest in the research and commercial community. Wireless devices are becoming smaller with lots of embedded computing capabilities. In addition, mobile computing, which is the ability to use computing capabilities even when being mobile, has also become the focus of very recent research efforts. The use of this ability has been greatly enhanced by wireless networking.
