Abstract--Intermittently connected mobile networks are wireless networks where most of the time there does not exist a complete path from the source to the destination. There are m...
In this paper, we consider the issue of constructing an energy-efficient virtual network backbone in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for broadcasting applications using directiona...
— In cellular networks, relays and/or mobiles can cooperate to improve the overall system performance. For example, once the transmission from a base station with multiple antenn...
In recent years, network mobility (NEMO) has been studied extensively due to its potential applications in military and public transportation. NEMO basic support protocol (NBSP), ...
In this work, we develop an analytical framework to investigate the behavior of the communication links of a node in a random mobility environment. Analytical expressions characte...
