Multicast protocols for MANET typically construct a tree or mesh structure for multicast message distribution. Typical implementations impose scalability and efficiency limitation...
—Wireless local area network (WLAN) systems are widely implemented today to provide hot spot coverage. Operated typically in an infrastructure mode, each WLAN is managed by an ac...
—We propose Adaptive Coordination Protocol ACP, a lightweight protocol for distributed formation of a backbone over Heterogeneous Wireless Networks. ACP does not require any neig...
Routing through a backbone, which is responsible for performing and managing multipoint communication, reduces the communication overhead and overall energy consumption in wireless...
