In this paper, we propose a new Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for full exploitation of directional antennas in wireless networks. The protocol introduces a circular directio...
Abstract. This paper presents a middleware platform we designed in order to allow the deployment of component-based software applications on mobile devices (such as laptops or pers...
—On-demand routing reduces the control overhead in mobile ad hoc networks, but it has the major drawback of introducing latency between route-request arrival and the determinatio...
A generic stochastic model with only two input parameters is introduced to evaluate the message delay in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) where nodes may relay messages. The Laplac...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are ad hoc networks comprised mainly of small sensor nodes with limited resources, and can be used to monitor areas of interest. In this paper, we p...
