The concept of 'complexity' plays a central role in complex network science. Traditionally, this term has been taken to express heterogeneity of the node degrees of a therefore complex network. However, given that the degree distribution is…
This paper deals with the accomplishment of total area coverage of an arbitrary region using sensors with a finite sensing radius of rs. For a given region, we aim to obtain a deterministic placement of sensors which, apart from ensuring…
In this paper, we compare problems of cluster formation and cluster-head selection between different protocols for data aggregation and transmission. We focus on two aspects of the problem: (i) how to guess number of clusters required to…
The statistical mechanical approach to complex networks is the dominant paradigm in describing natural and societal complex systems. The study of network properties, and their implications on dynamical processes, mostly focus on locally…
Clustering is a very popular network structuring technique which mainly addresses the issue of scalability in large scale Wireless Sensor Networks. Additionally, it has been shown to improve the energy efficiency and prolong the life of the…

Covering a bounded region with minimum number of homogeneous sensor nodes is a NP-complete problem \cite{Li09}. In this paper we have proposed an {\it id} based distributed algorithm for optimal coverage in an unbounded region. The proposed…
The problem of placement of mesh router nodes in Wireless Mesh Networks is known to be a NP hard problem. In this paper, the problem is addressed under a constraint of network model tied to rural regions where we usually observe low density…

A wireless network's design must include the optimization of the area of coverage of its wireless transmitters - mobile and base stations in cellular networks, wireless access points in WLANs, or nodes on a transmit schedule in a wireless…
Sensor networks aim at monitoring their surroundings for event detection and object tracking. But, due to failure, or death of sensors, false signal can be transmitted. In this paper, we consider the problems of distributed fault detection…
A well-known expression for the saturation throughput of heterogeneous transmitting nodes in a wireless network using p-CSMA, derived from Renewal Theory, implicitly assumes that all transmitting nodes are in range of, and therefore…
An important problem in wireless sensor networks is to find the minimal number of randomly deployed sensors making a network connected with a given probability. In practice sensors are often deployed one by one along a trajectory of a…
