Despite their critical importance for core safety-related VANET applications, these resources are underutilized

Partner selection in self-organised wireless sensor networks for opportunistic energy negotiation: A multi-armed bandit based approach Ad Hoc Netw. (IF 3.643) Pub Date : 2020-11-07 Andre P. Ortega, Sarvapali D. Ramchurn, Long Tran-Thanh, Geoff V. Merrett
The proliferation of “Things” over a network creates the Internet of Things (IoT), where sensors integrate to collect data from the environment over long periods of time. The growth of IoT applications will inevitably involve co-locating multiple wireless sensor networks, each serving different applications with, possibly, different needs and constraints. Since energy is scarce in sensor nodes equipped

On-demand vehicle-assisted charging in wireless rechargeable sensor networks Ad Hoc Netw. (IF 3.643) Pub Date : 2020-12-07 Rohit Kumar, Joy Chandra Mukherjee
Wireless power transfer technology opens up possibilities for charging the batteries of sensors wirelessly by wireless charging vehicles (WCVs), which increases the lifetime of Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks (WRSNs). Most of the existing studies do not consider the energy depletion of WCVs’ batteries during their travel through the network area, which may cause WCVs stranded in between their

A decision-making scheme for UAV maximizes coverage of emergency indoor and outdoor users Ad Hoc Netw. (IF 3.643) Pub Date : 2020-12-07 Jian Cui, Bo Hu, Shanzhi Chen
In emergency situations, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be quickly deployed as air base station to provide users with communication services. The outdoor transmission model and outdoor–indoor transmission model cannot be normalized, and an effective hybrid transmission model is difficult to establish when the UAV serves both indoor users and outdoor users. We propose a ”indoor-outdoor-iterative
