An important problem in wireless networks, such as wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, is to select a few nodes to form a virtual backbone that supports routing and other tasks s...
— Mobile Backbone Networks are heterogeneous wireless networks in which a subset of the nodes are more capable than others. The more capable nodes are referred to as Mobile Backb...
We study a novel hierarchical wireless networking approach in which some of the nodes are more capable than others. In such networks, the more capable nodes can serve as Mobile Ba...
Routing through a backbone, which is responsible for performing and managing multipoint communication, reduces the communication overhead and overall energy consumption in wireless...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are an emerging architecture based on multi-hop transmission. ISPs considers WMNs as a potential future technology to offer broadband Internet acces...
