For example, blockchain can elevate the data collection process for clinical trials through the use of ‘smart contracts’ that provide researchers with real-time patient data in a completely ...

This makes LoRaWAN particularly suited for the data collection applications (e.g., monitoring applications), where device lifetime is a key performance metric. However, when supporting a large number ...

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the design of a wireless sensor network (WSN) that aims at monitoring the environment and collecting data periodically. In view of the limited energy and ...
