This paper explains and evaluates the performance of a cluster architecture-based routing protocol, called Link Cluster Protocol (LCP), in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). LCP show...
The characteristics of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) determine that the authentication approaches to protect routing and data packet transmission in MANETs should be lightweight...
An operation is called broadcasting if a node sends a packet to all other nodes in an ad hoc network. Broadcasting is an elementary operation to support many applications in ad hoc...
Reliability is a very important issue in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs). Shortest paths are usually used to route packets in MANETs. However, a shortest path may fail quickly, bec...
This paper describes the Multicast Shared Tree Protocol MSTP that has been designed to support the delivery of multicast packets in a mobile ad hoc network. MSTP uses a shared tre...
