Abstract--Existing anycast routing protocols solely route packets to the closest group member. In this paper, we introduce density-based anycast routing, a new anycast routing para...
To solve the scalability issue of ad hoc network, a new cluster maintenance protocol is proposed. Clusters may change dynamically, reflecting the mobility of the underlying networ...
The characteristics of ad hoc networks naturally encourage the deployment of distributed services. Although current networks implement group communication methods, they do not sup...
—In many envisioned mobile ad hoc networks, nodes are expected to periodically beacon to advertise their presence. In this way, they can receive messages addressed to them or par...

In this paper, we present a Mobile Agents based Framework for Routing and Congestion control in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MAFRC). The framework uses a cross-layer design approach wh...
