Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming more and more a pervasive tool to monitor a wide range of physical phenomena. The opportunities arising from the many potential applications raise a series of technical challenges coupled with implementation constraints, such as energy supply, latency and vulnerability. The need for an efficient design of a WSN requires a strict interplay between the sensing and communication phases. In this article, we provide an ...
