Bidirectional communication between BLE/FSK devices and WiFi access points (APs) combines the benefits of long battery life, low device cost, and ubiquitous Internet access. However, prior cross-technology communication (CTC) solutions require ...

In recent years, a considerable body of literature has shown how Synchronous Flooding (SF)-based communication can provide reliability and latency guarantees in multi-hop networks. However, to-date, the technique has failed to gain traction outside of ...

Advanced sensors generate more data than can be transmitted using classic battery-powered wireless sensor networks. While using Wi-Fi would provide plenty of throughput, the receivers are energy hungry and, thus, the radio time needs to be reduced. ...

Traditional wisdom for network management allocates network resources separately for the measurement and data transmission tasks. Heavy measurement tasks may take up resources for data transmission and significantly reduce net- work performance. It is ...

The reliability of low-power wireless communications is being challenged by the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In an increasingly dynamic context, new countermeasure management is needed to make the IoT network more flexible. ...

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a representative wireless technology for Internet of Things (IoT) that enables concurrent communication with multiple devices at low power. However, the connection establishment mechanism of BLE is susceptible to resource ...

With the potential for connecting billions of WiFi devices to low-power Bluetooth/FSK devices, WiFi-Bluetooth cross-technology communication (CTC) has drawn significant interests from academia and industry. However, state-of-the-art CTC solutions ...

In wireless sensor networks, much energy is wasted during connecting and control processes. This is particularly true for the neighborhood discovery process carried out in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) before the communications between devices. ...

With rising demand for indoor location-based services (LBS) such as location-based marketing, mobile navigation, etc., there has been considerable interest in indoor positioning methods as well as their security and privacy. Current ...
