Abstract. Wireless sensor networks are typically ad-hoc networks of resource-constrained nodes; in particular, the nodes are limited in power resources. It can be difficult and costly to replace sensor nodes, for instance when implanted in the human body. Data transmission is the major consumer

Abstract In this paper, we study a coalitional game approach to resource allocation in a multi-channel coop-erative cognitive radio network with multiple primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs). We propose to form the grand coalition by grouping all PUs and SUs in a set, where each PU can

Autonomous agents such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have a great potential for deployment in next generation wireless networks. While current literature has been mainly focused on the use of UAVs for connectivity enhancement and routing in military ad hoc networks, this paper proposes a

In dynamic wireless ad hoc networks (DynWANs), autonomous computing devices set up a network for the communication needs of the moment. These networks require the implementation of a medium access control (MAC) layer.We considerMAC protocols for DynWANs that need to be autonomous and robust as well

on mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The provided implementation of the game contains a centralized communication component that logs the network communication between players and therefore, is usable for data collection of network traffic in MANETs. The collected data

are client-server based, which is feasible for relatively slow role-playing games. Those have modest bandwidth and latency requirements and are paid for by their customers. For MMOGs with higher realtime requirements and/or a smaller number of customers willing to pay, peer-to-peer networking seems to be a

-to-peer MMOG. Aim of this work is to create a new AI for a peer-to-peer MMOG called Planet π4. First I analyzed the current state of art of the AI for computer games. Then I considered two different approaches to create the AI for Planet π4. The first AI implements a simple behavior while the second AI creates

of workstations are expanding to include low-power ad hoc wireless sensor networks (WSN). The existing tools for software updates in workstations cannot be used with the severely resource-constrained sensor nodes. In this article, we survey the software update techniques in WSNs. We base our discussion around a

Abstract—We present an approach to the generation of realistic synthetic workloads for use in benchmarking of (massively) multiplayer online gaming infrastructures. Existing techniques are either too simple to be realistic or are too specific to a particular network structure to be used
