The characteristics of mobile environments, with the possibility of frequent disconnections and fluctuating bandwidth, have forced a rethink of traditional middleware. In particula...
Many research projects have defined applications that are claimed to operate in a MANet environment. Consider for instance these software tools that make it possible to share inf...
– MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) is capable of offering several-fold increase in spectral efficiency over singleantenna systems through spatial processing. However, curren...
: In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), all participating hosts are obligated to route and forward data for others to guarantee the availability of network applications and services....
A good amount of research has been developed to support QoS issues in IEEE 802.11 ad hoc networks, such as QoS routing, MAC layer QoS support, and cross-layer QoS design. However,...
