the extensibility and evolution of network services and protocols had become a major research issue in recent years. The 'programmable' and 'active' network par...
The network topology changes frequently in ad-hoc networks. Some on-demand protocols with multi-paths or backup routes have been proposed to improve the performance in ad-hoc netw...
— Group communications are important in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET). Multicast is an efficient method to implement the group communications. However, it is challenging to imp...
Abstract— Limited resources and time-varying nature of wireless ad hoc networks demand optimized use of resources across layers. Cross-layer optimization (CLO) for wireless netwo...
Due to the limited energy supplies of nodes in many applications like wireless sensor networks, energy efficiency is crucial for extending the lifetime of these networks. This pape...
