: We propose a location-service to assist location-based routing protocols, realised through our Associativity-Based Clustering protocol. The main goal of our scheme, which employs...
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...
Mobile ad hoc networks are self-organizing networks that provide rapid network connectivity in infrastructureless environments. Most routing protocols designed for MANETs assume c...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
In this paper, we introduce two protocols - a routing and a broadcasting protocol - for ad-hoc networks which are based on a new paradigm enabled by the broadcast property of the w...
