Energy efficiency is the most important issue in all facets of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) operations because of the limited and non-replenish able energy supply. Data aggregation mechanism is one of the possible solutions to prolong…

We study strong equilibria in symmetric capacitated cost-sharing games. In these games, a graph with designated source $s$ and sink $t$ is given, and each edge is associated with some cost. Each agent chooses strategically an $s$-$t$ path,…

Wireless Sensor networks are dense networks of small, low-cost sensors, which collect and disseminate environmental data and thus facilitate monitoring and controlling of physical environment from remote locations with better accuracy. The…

In this paper, we consider a network allocation problem motivated by peer-to-peer cloud storage models. The setting is that of a network of units (e.g. computers) that collaborate and offer each other space for the back up of the data of…

Thanks to the rapid development of information technology, the size of the wireless network becomes larger and larger, which makes spectrum resources more precious than ever before. To improve the efficiency of spectrum utilization, game…

Energy Conservation and prolonging the life of Wireless Sensor Network is one of the major issues in the wireless sensor network as sensor nodes are highly energy constrained devices. Many routing protocols have been proposed for sensor…

The dominating set problem has many practical applications but is well-known to be NP-hard. Therefore, there is a need for efficient approximation algorithms, especially in applications such as ad hoc wireless networks. Most distributed…

Power management is one of the vital issue in wireless sensor networks, where the lifetime of the network relies on battery powered nodes. Transmitting at high power reduces the lifetime of both the nodes and the network. One efficient way…

Designing security systems for wireless sensor networks presents a challenge due to their relatively low computational resources. This has rendered many traditional defense mechanisms based on cryptography infeasible for deployment on such…

TBecause of limited energy of nodes, an important issue for sensor network is efficient use of the energy. The clustering technique reduces energy consumption as cluster head sends sensed information to a sink node. Because of such…
