During the last decade, many works were devoted to improving the performance of relaying techniques in ad hoc networks. One promising approach consists in allowing the relay nodes ...

Power management is an important technique to prolong the lifetime of battery-powered wireless ad hoc networks. The fact that the energy consumed in the idle state dominates the t...
We propose a novel localized algorithm that constructs a bounded degree and planar spanner for wireless ad hoc networks modeled by unit disk graph (UDG). Every node only has to kn...
One important characteristic of wireless sensor networks is energy stringency. Constructing a connected dominating set (CDS) has been widely used as a topology control strategy to...
Directional antennas in ad hoc networks offer many benefits compared with classical omnidirectional antennas. The most important include significant increase of spatial reuse, cov...
