This paper has two themes. One is the question of how to understand the relation between inner speech and knowledge of one’s own thoughts. My aim here is to probe and challenge the popular neo-Rylean suggestion that we know our own thoughts by ‘overhearing our own silent monologues’, and to sketch an alternative suggestion, inspired by Ryle’s lesser-known discussion of thinking as a ‘serial ope...

The data size of multimedia information is much larger than that of sensor networks. It is required to use efficient protocols on WMSNs to reduce power consumption for multimedia data transmission. The overhearing method is used to transfer multimedia data to reduce transmission overhead to transmit next packets during the unused time interval. The proposed method has been verified its performa...

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are emerging technologies with the primary purpose of establishing communications. Available protocols for data dissemination in VANETs faced issues like discontinuous connections, uncertainty about receiving messages, collisions, and latency. In this paper, a new method is presented advertising infotainment messages. The proposed has used store carry forward ...

We study the problem of scheduling transmissions of packets belonging to several flows traversing a given node while making local encoding decisions. Practical wireless network coding solutions rely on knowledge of key knowledge which is obtained at the transmitter/scheduler either by acknowledgments or statistically. In the latter case, the knowledge of overhearing events for each packet impro...

Recent advancement in micro-electromechanical systems (mems) have enabled the development of Wireless sensor Network (WSN) which is gaining popularity day by day and is used in wide range of applications. The sensor nodes that constitute WSN have several constraints like limited battery power, memory constraint, limited bandwidth etc. Therefore designing an efficient MAC layer protocol is a cha...

This paper introduces Crankshaft, a MAC protocol specifically targeted at dense wireless sensor networks. Crankshaft employs node synchronisation and offset wake-up schedules to combat the main cause of inefficiency in dense networks: overhearing by neighbouring nodes. Further energy savings are gained by using efficient channel polling and contention resolution techniques. Simulations show tha...

Opportunistic routing (OR) is an upcoming and promising routing technique for wireless multihop networks. The key concepts behind OR is overhearing and cooperation among relaying nodes; therefore, OR works well in wireless multihop networks with higher node density, such as mesh or sensor networks. OR enables multiple routes and dynamic relay selection, thus, it obtains higher link reliability ...

Node misbehavior due to selfish or malicious behavior could significantly degrade the performance of MANET because most existing routing protocols in MANET aim to find the most efficient path. Overhearing and reputation based cooperation schemes have been used to detect and isolate the misbehaving nodes as well as to force them to cooperate. Performance analysis has been done for the network tr...
