New communication technologies are being developed for the Internet of Things (IoT), such as the wireless long distance and low power networks (LPWAN). The LoRa (Long Range) protocol, a wireless communication technology ...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become much more relevant in recent years, mainly because they can be used in a wide diversity of applications. Real-time locating systems (RTLSs) are one of the most promising applications ...

Nowadays, indoor Real-Time Locating Systems represent one of the most exciting applications based on Wireless Sensor Networks using wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi or ZigBee. Indoor Real-Time Locating Systems based on ...

There is a wide range of military and civil applications where Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) can be used for providing context-awareness for troops and special corps. On the one hand, WSNs ...

This paper provides a statistical characterization of the individual achievable rates and the spatial throughput of bipolar Poisson wireless networks. We derive closed-form expressions for the probability density function ...

Even living in the XXI century are still some difficulties in access to broadband Internet in several Brazilian cities, due to the purchasing power of people and lack of government investment. But even with these difficulties, ...

Query processing techniques have been shown to considerably reduce software development efforts for wireless sensor networks. However, deploying a sensor network remains a difficult and error-prone task. This paper ...
