Cooperative MIMO Communications in Wireless Ad Hoc Rayleigh Fading Networks

In this paper addresses Rayleigh fading networks, and in particular, wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks over Rayleigh fading channels. First, we will model Rayleigh fading networks and show how to map the wireless fading channel to the upper layer parameters for cross-layer design. Based on the developed fading network model, we will consider two scarce resources of wireless networks, namely e...

Cooperative Localization in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

The need for highly accurate position information is of great importance in many commercial, public safety, and military applications. With the integration of GPS into cell phones, in conjunction with WiFi localization, we are entering a new era of ubiquitous location-awareness. In the coming years, we will see the emergence of high-definition location-awareness applications: localization syste...

Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks

Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks (WAdSNs) have become an important research area in the last ten years. Main contributions have focused on the development of new hardware, software, and protocols supporting distributed applications. In these kinds of networks, cooperation is a key issue, especially when nodes collaborate with their neighbors and with the whole network, considering it as a single...
