IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
The mobile ad hoc network (MANET), which is characterized by an infrastructureless architecture and multi-hop communication, has attracted a lot of attention recently. In the evol...
— Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are seen as an essential technology to support future Pervasive Computing Scenarios and 4G networks. In a MANET, efficient support of multipoint...
Many research projects have defined applications that are claimed to operate in a MANet environment. Consider for instance these software tools that make it possible to share inf...
Abstract—We consider the location service in a mobile adhoc network (MANET), where each node needs to maintain its location information in the network by (i) frequently updating ...
