—Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) usually contain sparse or even empty regions called holes. The local optimum problem will occur when routing packets meet holes in the network. I...
—Physical Carrier Sensing plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of CSMA-based MAC protocols, yet its properties and impact on the system performance under slow fading channel...
Broadcast transmissions are the predominate form of network traffic in a VANET. However, since there is no MAC-layer recovery on broadcast frames within an 802.11-based VANET, th...
In order to ease the challenging task of information dissemination in a MANET, we employ a legend: a data structure passed around a network to share information with all the mobil...
Abstract. We propose a distributed and adaptive topology management algorithm, called PATM (Priority-based Adaptive Topology Management), that constructs and maintains a connected ...
