Know when to listen: SDN-based protocols for directed IoT networks

Low-power wireless networks are an integral part of the Internet of Things, composed of resource-constrained devices harvesting ambient information.<br/>The appearance of unidirectional links is characteristic of low power wireless networking due to physical effects, device heterogeneity and manufacturing imperfections.<br/>Despite the...

No way back? An SDN protocol for directed IoT networks

The Internet of Things (IoT) has and will continue to permeate many aspects of everyday life. However, IoT de- vices often use wireless communication to transfer their data, which may experience ambient noise and multipath fading. This, together with the wide heterogeneity in types of devices, leads to the emergence of unidirectional links in...
