Abstract. The emergence of computing environments where smart devices are embedded pervasively in the physical world has made possible many interesting applications and has trigger...
— Cooperative and reliable packet forwarding presents a formidable challenge in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), due to special network characteristics; e.g., mobility, dynamic to...
— In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), packets are forwarded by a series of nodes to the desired destination. Previously, we have studied the network connectivity of MANETs. In th...
We propose and analyze a scalable and efficient region-based group key management protocol for secure group communications in mobile ad hoc networks. For scalability and dynamic r...
As mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) become ever more popular, it also becomes more and more interesting to build distributed network applications (e.g. data storage, etc.) that hav...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) raise new challenges in designing protocols for solving the consensus problem. Among the others, how to design message efficient protocols so as to...
As mobile ad hoc networks provide a wide range of possibly critical services, providing quality of service guarantees becomes an essential element. Yet there is a limited understa...
— Anycast is a communication paradigm that was first introduced to the suit of routing protocols in IPv6 networks. In anycast, a packet is intended to be delivered to one of the...
—Flooding is one of the most fundamental operations in mobile ad hoc networks. Traditional implementation of flooding suffers from the problems of excessive redundancy of message...
