Abstract. Ambient computing requires the integration of multiple mobile heterogeneous networks. Multi-path communication, in such scenarios, can provide reliability and privacy ben...
Ad hoc networks face the problem of improving networks’ capacity and scalability. The scalability problem can be properly solved through physical hierarchy networking. In this p...
Abstract--A novel cluster-head selection and update algorithm "Typebased Cluster-forming Algorithm (TCA)" is proposed, which outperforms both the lowest node ID (LID) and...
The goal is to build a general framework for ad hoc applications over large networks using semantics and complex systems analysis. The first part deals with semantics because appl...
—Several contention-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols have been proposed for the vehicles to gain the radio channels to distribute active safety messages timely, e.g., ...
