Ad hoc networks formed without the aid of any established infrastructure are typically multi-hop networks. Location dependent contention and "hidden terminal" problem ma...
Network wide broadcasting in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks provides important control and route establishment functionality for a number of unicast and multicast protocols. Considering i...
Auto-configuration is a desirable goal in implementing mobile ad hoc networks. Specifically, automated dynamic assignment (without manual intervention) of IP addresses is desirabl...
This paper presents a new carrier sensing mechanism called DVCS (Directional Virtual Carrier Sensing) for wireless communication using directional antennas. DVCS does not require ...

In wireless sensor networks, energy efficiency is crucial to achieve satisfactory network lifetime. In order to reduce the energy consumption of a node significantly, its radio ne...
Topological changes in mobile ad hoc networks frequently render routing paths unusable. Such recurrent path failures have detrimental effects on the network ability to support QoS...
While several approaches have been proposed in literature for improving the performance of wireless packet data networks, a recent class of approaches has focused on improving the...
Due to hidden terminals and a dynamic topology, contention among stations in an ad-hoc network is not homogeneous. Some stations are at a disadvantage in opportunity of access to ...
