This paper is motivated by the observation that current research in ad hoc networks mostly assumes a physically flat network architecture with the nodes having homogeneous charact...
Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are infrastructure-less networks where no central network management exists, composed of mobile nodes over wireless links. Network topology in MANE...
—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...

—Opportunistic networks represent one of the most interesting evolution of MANET paradigm. Generally speaking, opportunistic networks enable user communication in environments wh...
Routing protocol is a pivotal issue in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Several routing protocols have been proposed to deal with the routing issue in MANETs. However, routing tur...
