As privacy moves to the center of attention in networked systems, and the need for trust remains a necessity, an important question arises: How do we reconcile the two seemingly c...
— In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), the hidden and the exposed terminal problems affect the throughput of the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. Several MAC schemes have be...
Routing is a critical function in multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). A number of MANET-oriented routing protocols have been proposed, of which DSR is widely considered bot...
— The dynamic nature of ad hoc networks advocates the use of adaptive schemes to optimize network performance. Such adaptive schemes require local observations of prevailing netw...
— Cooperative and reliable packet forwarding presents a formidable challenge in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), due to special network characteristics; e.g., mobility, dynamic to...
