An ad hoc network is a dynamically reconfigurable wireless network with no fixed infrastructure or central administration. Each host is mobile and must act as a router. Routing and...
In this paper, we propose a Multicast Routing Protocol termed ZBMRP (Zone Based Multicast Routing Protocol) for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). ZBMRP applies on-demand procedures ...
— Battery power is an important resource in ad hoc networks. It has been observed that in ad hoc networks, energy consumption does not reflect the communication activities in th...
Abstract. Providing energy efficiency in MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, while achieving desirable throughput, is an important research issue in the area of wireless networking....
— As broadcasting is widely used for miscellaneous maintenance operations in wireless ad hoc networks, where energy is a scarce resource, an efficient broadcasting protocol is o...
