Herein, we will focus on proposing a service taxonomy and classification for RBA/SOA architectures aiming to model a common framework for the description and composition of possible Atomic Ser- vices or networking ...

Most studies about the performance of IEEE 802.11 are limited to a single cell environment. Nevertheless, the idea of designing an outdoor cellular network based on WLAN IEEE 802.11 results very attractive, due to the ...

Energy-efficient communication is one of the main concerns of wireless sensor networks nowadays. A commonly employed approach for achieving energy efficiency has been the use of duty-cycled operation of the radio, where ...

In this paper, we address the issue of evaluating performance of wireless LANs in multicell scenarios. We try to understand the complex behavior of the DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) access method defined in the ...

The Pervasive Computing field is almost always addressed from application, middleware, sensing or Human Computer Interaction perspective. Thus, solutions are usually designed at application level or involve developing new ...

Since the advent of the first IEEE 802.11 standard, several papers have proposed means of providing QoS to IEEE 802.11 networks and evaluate various traffic-prioritization mechanisms. Nevertheless, studies on the assignment ...

Aquest llibre correspon al manual de pràctiques d'un simulador de comunicacions mòbils cel·lulars que pot executar-se amb o sense animació. La pràctica que es proposa cobreix dos camps diferents, el primer són els sistemes ...

Wake-up radios present a promising alternative to traditional duty-cycle approaches, by reducing overhearing and by eliminating idle listening completely. However, energy-efficient operation of the wake-up mechanism is ...
