In this paper we present the NITOS Bikes Net platform, a city-scale mobile sensing infrastructure that relies on bicycles of volunteer users. NITOS Bikes Net employs a custom-built embedded node that can be equipped with ...

The efficient utilization of emerging new technologies for the sake of implementing attracting and novel network architectures is a major research challenge. As traditional addressing schemes seem to be rather inefficient ...

This demo presents a novel routing and scheduling scheme, named Enhanced-Backpressure over WiFi (EBoW), that obviously outperforms the dominant approach of a shortest-path routing (SRCR) combined with the classic CSMA/CA ...

Millimeter-wave communications in the 60-GHz band are considered one of the key technologies for enabling multigigabit wireless access. However, the special characteristics of such a band pose major obstacles to the optimal ...

In this paper we present NITOS Bikes Net, a framework for mobile sensing in a city-wide environment offering experimentation capabilities. More Specifically, we present a custom-made and modular prototype device that can ...

The publish/subscribe communication paradigm has become an important architectural style for designing distributed systems and has recently been considered one of the most promising future network architectures that solves ...

Electric energy storage devices are prime candidates for demand load management in the smart power grid. In this work, we address the optimal energy storage control problem from the side of the utility operator. The operator ...

In recent years, it has become common consensus that independent consideration of communication layers often turns out to be inadequate in terms of providing the desired quality of service (QoS) and power efficiency in ...

A key consideration in novel communication paradigms in multihop wireless networks regards the scalability of the network. We investigate the case of nodes making random requests on content stored in multiple replicas over ...

We study the problem of Wireless Network Coding with imperfect overhearing, a joint coding/scheduling problem that arises naturally in multihop wireless networks. We map this problem to specific instances of index coding. ...
