An energy-efficient distributed clustering algorithm for heterogeneous WSNs
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) were envisaged to become the fabric of our environment and society. However, they are yet unable to surmount many operational challenges such as limited network lifetime, which strangle their ...
A survey and taxonomy on energy efficient resource allocation techniques for cloud computing systems
(
Springer
, 2014 , Article)
In a cloud computing paradigm, energy efficient allocation of different virtualized ICT resources (servers, storage disks, and networks, and the like) is a complex problem due to the presence of heterogeneous application ...
Multiple Relay Selection and Beamforming in Dual-Hop Amplify-and-Forward Relay Networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, the problems of multiple relay selection and beamforming optimization are considered for a dual-hop amplify-and-forward relaying network under individual and total power constraints. The selection is performed ...
