In this paper, one of the most important parameters in performance evaluation and protocol design of wireless networks, Link Excess Life (LEL), is investigated. An analytical mode...
Traffic scheduling is key to the provision of quality of service (QoS) differentiation and guarantees in wireless networks. Unlike its wireline counterpart, wireless communications...
Efficient mobility management is one of the major challenges for next-generation mobile systems. Indeed, a mobile node (MN) within an access network may cause excessive signaling t...
Heterogeneous multihop wireless networks such as wireless mesh networks consist of a set of resource-constrained mobile nodes that want to communicate with each other and a set of...
Network mobility introduces far more complexity than host mobility. Therefore, host mobility protocols such as Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) need to be extended to support this new type of m...
