Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimizing the lifetime of a mobile ad hoc network at a given degree k of connectivity by minimizing power consumption. Our p...
— Intermittently Connected Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (ICMANs) are mobile networks in which complete source-todestination paths do not exist most of the time because of their sparse ...
Ad hoc networks represent a key factor in the evolution of wireless communications. These networks typically consist of equal nodes that communicate without central control, inter...
The dynamic changes of the topology caused by the movement of nodes makes routing become one of the key problems in the mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET). So how to optimize routing b...
Variable environments in ad hoc networks require a joint control of physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers resources in order to optimize performance. In this paper,...
