Approximation Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Deployment

Overview This paper develops an integer linear programming formulation to find a minimum cost deployment of sensors so at attain desired coverage of a target point set. Additionally Âª-approximation algorithms and a polynomial time approximation scheme are proposed for the case of grid coverage. Experiments demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithms over earlier algorithms for point coverage of grids.

Pay-as-you-go grids for all: Europe says you're worth it

Pay-as-you use grids available to everyone in Europe with a computer or PDA could be on their way. Reding said that, while grids may be immature, they are already giving early adopters "clear benefits".

What future for the wireless Square Mile?

Laptop users tend to be indoors and there's a coverage issue there. The Cloud said the project will eventually cover 95 per cent of the City and if the scheme proves more popular than expected, the operator will keep adding capacity as user numbers...

BT kick-starts wireless cities project

Andrews stressed the wireless deployment would initially be focused on areas identified by the relevant councils, rather than taking the form of blanket coverage. Cardiff and Westminster represent extensions of the scheme, as smaller wi-fi networks...

T-Mobile cosies up to femtocells…

We'll see how that develops. Femtocells are small cellular base stations that make us of DSL to boost signal coverage indoors. Analysts have talked up their potential as a way of ramping up 3G network coverage without the crippling costs associated...

Five weird ways to bridge the digital divide

From there each balloon creates a coverage circle of more than 400 miles. Balloons do not last long in the upper atmosphere but new ones are launched every eight to 12 hours to provide continuous coverage.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
