Wireless Transport Protocol Variants for Cognitive Radio Networks

HYREP: A Hybrid Low-Power Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper, a new hybrid routing protocol is presented for low power Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The new system uses an integrated piezoelectric energy harvester to increase the network lifetime. Power dissipation is one of the most important factors affecting lifetime of a WSN. An innovative cluster head selection technique using Cuckoo optimization algorithm has been used in the desig...

Cognitive radio networks for tactical wireless communications

....... The modern battlefield is a demanding environment for tactical radio networks in that in addition to the variation in the wireless propagation environment, the radio must co-exist and contend with a high density of emitters having varying waveforms. Cognitive Radio (CR) is widely considered as a promising technology for providing the mechanisms to mitigate interference, and allow more f...

Overlay Cognitive Radio in Wireless Mesh Networks

In this paper we apply the concept of overlay cognitive radio to the communication between nodes in a wireless mesh network. Based on the overlay cognitive radio model, it is possible to have two concurrent transmissions in a given interference region, where usually only one communication takes place at a given time. We analyze the cases of wireless mesh networks with regular and random topolog...

Spectrum Management in Cognitive Radio Wireless Networks

an efficient protocol for data aggregation in wireless sensor networks

sensor networks generally consist of a very great number of sensor nodes which will be spread into a vast environment and aggregate data out of it. the sensor nodes are afflicted with some limitations as follows memory, reception, communication as well as calculation capability, and battery power. the transmission of a great amount of extra data increases data transmission and proportionally in...
