Many real world systems or web services can be represented as a network such as social networks and transportation networks. In the past decade, many algorithms have been developed to detect the communities in a network using connections…
Our work introduces an approach for estimating the contribution of attachment mechanisms to the formation of growing networks. We present a generic model in which growth is driven by the continuous attachment of new nodes according to…
In this work we make an attempt to understand social networks from a mathematical viewpoint. In the first instance we consider a network where each node representing an individual can connect with a neighbouring node with a certain…
Cooperation in cellular networks is a promising scheme to improve system performance. Existing works consider that a user dynamically chooses the stations that cooperate for his/her service, but such assumption often has practical…

This paper addresses the distributed localization problem for a network of sensors placed in a three-dimensional space, in which sensors are able to perform range measurements, i.e., measure the relative distance between them, and exchange…
Nodes are randomly distributed within an annulus (and then a shell) to form a point pattern of communication terminals which are linked stochastically according to the Rayleigh fading of radio-frequency data signals. We then present…

Accurate location information is essential for many wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. A location-aware WSN generally includes two types of nodes: sensors whose locations to be determined and anchors whose locations are known a…
We consider an infectious disease spreading along the edges of a network which may have significant clustering. The individuals in the population have heterogeneous infectiousness and/or susceptibility. We define the out-transmissibility of…
A new method for estimating the relative positions of location-unaware nodes from the location-aware nodes and the received signal strength (RSS) between the nodes, in a wireless sensor network (WSN), is proposed. In the method, a…
Random geometric networks consist of 1) a set of nodes embedded randomly in a bounded domain $\mathcal{V} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and 2) links formed probabilistically according to a function of mutual Euclidean separation. We quantify how…
Site-specific radio frequency (RF) propagation prediction increasingly relies on models built from visual data such as cameras and LIDAR sensors. When operating in dynamic settings, the environment may only be partially observed. This paper…
