Diffusion Models for Information Dissemination Dynamics in Wireless Complex Communication Networks

Diffusion Models for Information Dissemination Dynamics in Wireless Complex Communication Networks

Information dissemination has become one of the most important services of communication networks. Modeling the diffusion of information through such networks is crucial for our modern information societies. In this work, novel models, segregating between useful and malicious types of information are introduced, in order to better study Information Dissemination Dynamics (IDD) in wireless compl...

Application of Information and Communication Technology for Dissemination of Agricultural Information among Farmers: Challenges and Opportunities

Agriculture is the backbone of India’s economy as two-third of the population live in rural areas and directly or indirectly depend on agriculture for their livelihood. India’s food production has improved significantly during the last three decades due to all-round efforts but Indian agriculture is still facing a multitude of problems to maximize productivity to feed the continuously increasin...

Wireless Sensor Networks: Communication Mechanisms for Power-Aware Data Dissemination

A wireless sensor network is an ad hoc network consisting of numerous sensor devices (nodes). These nodes are linked via short-range ad hoc radio connections. Each node in such a network has a limited energy resource (battery), and each node operates unattended. Consequently, energy efficiency is an important design consideration for these networks. Inspired by the fact that in complex systems ...

Adaptive Proto ols for Information Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks

Random graph models for wireless communication networks

This thesis concerns mathematical models of wireless communication networks, in particular ad-hoc networks and 802.11 WLANs. In ad-hoc mode each of these devices may function as a sender, a relay or a receiver. Each device may only communicate with other devices within its transmission range. We use graph models for the relationship between any two devices: a node stands for a device, and an ed...
