Exploring GSM data in pervasive environments

Ian Anderson, Henk Muller

A cell phone that behaves in a manner reflective of the current context has been a goal for the pervasive and ubiquitous research communities for a long time. This paper aims to…

Probabilistic self‐scheduling for coverage configuration in wireless ad‐hoc sensor networks

Jun Lu, Lichun Bao, Tatsuya Suda

Sensing coverage is a critical issue in sensor network deployments. The paper aims to propose a novel scheme to maintain the sensing coverage in sensor networks, which is termed…

A cross‐layer design for heterogeneous routing in wireless mesh networks

Shih‐Hao Shen, Yueh‐Min Huang, Jen‐Wen Ding

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are regarded as a milestone in developing next‐generation wireless networks. The multi‐hop architecture of WMN makes it very attractive. However…

An efficient wireless network discovery scheme for heterogeneous access environments

Farhan Siddiqui, Sherali Zeadally

Several new network types have emerged over the last couple of years. Many of these networks are being connected together to provide mobile users with the capability of staying…

FBSR: feedback‐based secure routing protocol for wireless sensor networks

Zhen Cao, Jianbin Hu, Zhong Chen, Maoxing Xu, Xia Zhou

Wireless sensor networks, due to their potentially wide application perspectives, may proliferate in future. Two major stumbling blocks are the dynamic variance of the network…

HoNeY: leveraging the MHP to provide HOme NEtwork interoperabilitY

Giuseppe Portelli, Giovanni Malnati, Fabio Forno

Home networks enable, potentially, an increased level of integration among appliances present in the house, enabling an ubiquitous control of devices and simplifying man/machine…

Forming a context‐sensitive web of trust by relying on sentimentally like‐minded

Mats Neovius, Fredrik Degerlund, Lu Yan

Trust in open networks has emerged as a prime research topic, partly due to the vast unexploited possibilities unrestricted distribution of ideas, innovations and information…
