A Network Coding Approach to Energy Efficient Broadcasting: from Theory to Practice

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Christina Fragouli, Jörg Widmer

We show that network coding allows to realize energy savings in a wireless ad-hoc network, when each node of the network is a source that wants to transmit information to all other nodes. Energy efficiency directly affects battery life and thus is a critic ...

Vulnerabilities in Epidemic Forwarding

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Alaeddine El Fawal

We identify vulnerabilities in epidemic forwarding. We address broadcast applications over wireless ad-hoc networks. Epidemic forwarding employs several mechanisms such as inhibition and spread control and each of them can be achieved using different alter ...

Towards reliable communication and agreement in mobile ad-hoc networks

David Cavin

During the last decade, the number of wireless devices like digital organizers, mobile phones and laptop computers has drastically increased. At the same time, several technologies, like Bluetooth, GPRS, or WiFi have become mature and offer a high-performa ...

Interference Mitigation by Statistical Interference Modeling in an Impulse Radio UWB Receiver

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Manuel Flury

Some impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) networks may allow concurrent transmissions without power control (for example MAC protocols that do not use power control, or co-exisiting, non-coordinated piconets). In such cases, it has been proposed to mitigate multi-us ...

Interference Mitigation by Statistical Interference Modeling in an Impulse Radio UWB Receiver

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Manuel Flury

Some impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) networks may allow concurrent transmissions without power control (for example MAC protocols that do not use power control, or co-existing, non-coordinated piconets). In such cases, it has been proposed to mitigate multi-use ...

Game Theory in Wireless Networks: A Tutorial

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi

The behavior of a given wireless station may affect the communication capabilities of a neighboring one, notably because the radio communication channel is usually shared in wireless networks. In this tutorial, we carefully explain how situations of this k ...

Nash Equilibria of Packet Forwarding Strategies in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi, Levente Buttyan

In self-organizing ad hoc networks, all the networking functions rely on the contribution of the participants. As a basic example, nodes have to forward packets for each other in order to enable multi-hop communication. In recent years, incentive mechanism ...

DRIFT: Efficient message ordering in ad hoc networks using virtual flooding

André Schiper, Stefan Pleisch

We present DRIFT --- a total order multicast algorithm for ad hoc networks with mobile or static nodes. Due to the ad hoc nature of the network, DRIFT uses flooding for message propagation. The key idea of DRIFT is virtual flooding --- a way of using unrel ...

An Evaluation of Media-Oriented Rate Selection Algorithm for Multimedia Transmission in MANETs

We focus on the optimization of real-time multimedia transmission over 802.11-based ad hoc networks. In particular, we propose a simple and efficient cross-layer mechanism that considers both the channel conditions and characteristics of the media for dyna ...

Managing Heterogeneous Wireless Environments via Hotspot Servers

Giovanni De Micheli

Wireless communication today supports heterogeneous wireless devices with a number of different wireless network interfaces (WNICs). A large fraction of communication is infrastructure based, so the wireless access points and hotspot servers have become mo ...
