Energy efficiency in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks: routing, node activity scheduling and cross-layering

In this thesis, we consider wireless ad hoc and sensor networks where energy matters. Indeed, sensor nodes are characterized by a small size, a low cost, an advanced communication technology, but also a limited amount of energy. This energy can be very expensive, difficult or even impossible to rene...
