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...
— Medium access control (MAC) protocols have been studied under different contexts for several years now. In all these MAC protocols, nodes make independent decisions on when to ...
Most ad hoc networks do not implement any network access control, leaving these networks vulnerable to resource consumption attacks where a malicious node injects packets into the ...
— Ultra wide band (UWB) ad-hoc networks have attracted much research attention in recent years. This paper proposes and investigates a new distributed cooperative routing strateg...
—Ad hoc networks employ a decentralized unstructured networking model that relies on node cooperation for key network functionalities such as routing and medium access. In this p...
