are distributed systems of wirelessly networked devices that allow retrieving video and audio streams, still images, and scalar sensor data. WMSNs will be a crucial component of mission-critical networks to protect the operation of strategic national infrastructure, provide support to counteract emergencies and threats, and enhance infrastructure for tactical military operations. To enable these applications, WMSNs require the sensor network paradigm to be re-thought in view of the need for mechanisms to deliver multimedia content with a pre-defined level of quality of service (QoS). In this paper, a new cross-layer communication architecture based on the time-hopping impulse radio ultra wide band technology is described, whose objective is to reliably and flexibly deliver QoS to heterogeneous applications in WMSNs, by leveraging and controlling interactions among different layers of the protocol stack according to applications requirements. Simulations show that the proposed system achieves the performance objectives of WMSNs without sacrificing on the modularity of the overall design. Index Terms—Wireless multimedia sensor networks, crosslayer optimization, quality of service, ultra wide band. I.

Abstract-In this paper, a concurrent transmission scheduling algorithm is proposed to enhance the resource utilization efficiency for multi-Gbps millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks. Specifically, we exploit spatial-time division multiple access (STDMA) to improve the system throughput by allowing both non-interfering and interfering links to transmit concurrently, considering the high propagation loss at mmWave band and the utilization of directional antenna. Concurrent transmission scheduling in mmWave networks is formulated as an optimization model to maximize the number of flows scheduled in the network such that the quality of service (QoS) requirement of each flow is satisfied. We further decompose the optimization problem and propose a flip-based heuristic scheduling algorithm with low computational complexity to solve the problem. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the network performance in terms of network throughput and the number of supported flows.

Abstract—Fairness is an important and interdisciplinary topic employed in many fields. This article discusses fairness issues in wireless networks. First, we address various issues in the study on fairness. In general, we formulate the issues in fairness research through the three core questions. Finding answers them leads us to various nuances of fairness studies. Existing fairness models are summarized and compared. We also look into the major fairness research domains in wireless networks. Relationship between fairness, utility and resource allocation are also discussed. At the end of this article, we provide properties of fairness and an example fairness management process. We also state some challenges that point to further work on fairness in wireless networks. Indeed research on fairness is entangled with various other aspects such as performance, utility, optimization and throughput at the network as well as individual (or node) level. While consolidating various contributions in the literature, this article tries to explain the nuances of all these aspects clearly in the domain of wireless networking.

Abstract—The pervasiveness of wireless technology has indeed created massive opportunity to integrate almost everything into the Internet fabric. This can be seen with the advent of Internet of Things and Cyber Physical Systems, which involves cooperation of massive number of intelligent devices to provide intelligent services. Fairness amongst these devices is an important issue that can be analysed from several dimensions, e.g., energy usage, achieving required quality of services, spectrum sharing, and so on. This article focusses on these viewpoints while looking at fairness research. To generalize, mainly wireless networks are considered. First, we present a general view of fairness studies, and pose three core questions that help us delineate the nuances in defining fairness. Then, the existing fairness models are summarized and compared. We also look into the major fairness research domains in wireless networks such as fair energy consumption control, power control, topology control, link and flow scheduling, channel assignment, rate allocation, congestion control and routing protocols. We make a distinction amongst fairness, utility and resource allocation to begin with. Later, we present their inter-relation. At the end of this article, we list the common properties of fairness and give an example of fairness management. Several open research challenges that point to further work on fairness in wireless networks are also discussed. Indeed, the research on fairness is entangled with many other aspects such as performance, utility, optimization and throughput at the network and node levels. While consolidating the contributions in the literature, this article tries to explain the niceties of all these aspects in the domain of wireless networking.

Wireless mesh networking is an emerging technology for future broadband wire-less access. Future wireless networking can benefit from a robust and reliable wire-less mesh backbone rendered by mesh routers, providing an all-wireless ambience. Due to the requisite multichannel communications for high-speed data transmis-sions, power allocation for opportunistically exploiting fading wireless channels, and packet scheduling for QoS provisioning, joint power-frequency-time resource allocation is indispensable. In this article we propose a low-complexity intracluster resource allocation algorithm, taking power allocation, subcarrier allocation, and packet scheduling into consideration. Numerical results demonstrate that our scheme is near optimal, and that our optimality-driven resource allocation approach outperforms a greedy algorithm, working out a better performance com-promise among throughput, packet dropping rate, and packet delay. 450890-8044/08/$25.00 © 2008 IEEEIEEE Network • January/February 2008 ireless mesh networking has emerged as a promising technology for future broadband wireless access, supporting ubiquitous com-munications and mobile computing.
