Abstract--In a wireless network, with the aid of rate adaptation, multiuser diversity can be exploited by allowing the mobile user with the best channel to use the channel. However...
Efficient routing and medium access control (MAC) are very important for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Most existing routing and MAC protocols consider homogeneous ad hoc networ...
A central challenge in ad hoc networks is the design of routing protocols that can adapt their behavior to frequent and rapid changes in the network. The performance of proactive ...

—An ad hoc network is a multi-hop wireless network formed by a collection of mobile nodes without the intervention of fixed infrastructure. Limited bandwidth and a high degree o...
A routing protocol is designed considering a particular environment all the time which is not possible in the case of practical ad hoc networks. Because of the uncertainty in topol...
