Power heterogeneous ad hoc networks are characterized by link layer asymmetry: the ability of lower power nodes to receive transmissions from higher power nodes but not vice versa...
—Carrier sensing is a medium access method widely adopted in wireless communication to protect data transfers from interference. For example, Distributed Coordination Function (D...
An ad hoc agent environment is a way for users to interact with an ambient intelligent environment. Agents are associated with every device, service or content. Utilizing agents, ...
This paper proposes a novel reliable multicast transport protocol for multi-hop, wireless ad hoc networks (or MANETs). To recover from the different types of losses that may occur ...
Role-based access control and role hierarchies have been the subject of considerable research in recent years. In this paper, we consider three useful applications of a new role-b...
