We study a novel hierarchical wireless networking approach in which some of the nodes are more capable than others. In such networks, the more capable nodes can serve as Mobile Ba...
Abstract—In this paper, we present the implementation issues of a virtual backbone that supports the operations of the Uniform Quorum System (UQS) and the Randomized Database Gro...
A k-hop dominating set is a subset of nodes such that each node not in the set can be reached within k hops from at least one node in the set. A connected k-hop dominating set can ...
Multicast protocols for MANET typically construct a tree or mesh structure for multicast message distribution. Typical implementations impose scalability and efficiency limitation...
—In this paper, we present an extended Mobile Backbone Network (MBN) topology synthesis algorithm (ETSA) for constructing and maintaining a dynamic backbone structure in mobile w...
