A generic stochastic model with only two input parameters is introduced to evaluate the message delay in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) where nodes may relay messages. The Laplac...
—The newly emerged vehicular ad hoc network adopts the contention based IEEE 802.11 DCF as its MAC. While it has been extensively studied in the stationary indoor environment (e....
Routing has been the main challenge for ad hoc networks due to dynamic topology as well as resource constraints. Completely GPS free as well as GPS scarce positioning systems for ...
This paper models an ad-hoc network as a continuum of nodes, ignoring edge effects, to find how the traffic scales with N, the number of nodes. We obtain expressions for the traffi...
Classical content sharing applications like BitTorrent are not designed to run over wireless networks. When adapting them to these constrained networks, two main problems arise. On...
