Routing packets is a central function of multi-hop wireless networks. Traditionally, there have been two paradigms for routing, either based on the geographical coordinates of the nodes (geographic routing), or based on the connectivity graph (topology-bas ...
A novel routing algorithm, named Balanced Adaptive Routing Protocol (BARP), is proposed for NoCs to provide adaptive routing and ensure deadlock-free and livelock-free routing at the same time. By evenly distributing input packets of a router among all its ...
In many networks, it is less costly to transmit a packet to any node in a set of neighbors than to one specific neighbor. A well-known instance is with unreliable wireless links, where the probability that at least one node out ofnreceives a packet increas ...
We present PIE, a scalable routing scheme that achieves 100% packet delivery and low path stretch. It is easy to implement in a distributed fashion and works well when costs are associated to links. Scalability is achieved by using virtual coordinates in a ...

Combining wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with delay-tolerant networking (DTN) has the potential to extend their use in a multitude of previously impossible applications. However, and despite numerous proposed solutions, there is still wide debate as to ho ...
Neighbor discovery is essential for the process of self-organization of a wireless network, where almost all routing and medium access protocols need knowledge of one-hop neighbors. In this paper we study the problem of neighbor discovery in a static and s ...

In opportunistic routing, each node maintains a group of candidate relays to reach a particular destination, and transmits packets to any node in this group. If a single candidate relay receives the packet, it becomes the effective relay to forward the pac ...
A Disruption-Tolerant Network (DTN) attempts to route packets between nodes that are temporarily connected. Difficulty in such networks is that nodes have no information about the network status and contact opportunities. The situation is different in publ ...

We describe our design of a geocast service for mobile partitioned networks (MPNs). We focus mainly on minimizing the delivery latency. Our approach exploits the time-stability of the collective mobility pattern. In MPNs, in contrast to MANETs, the end-to- ...
The operating principle of certain wireless networks makes essential the cooperation between the mobile nodes. However, if each node is an autonomous selfish entity, cooperation is not guaranteed and therefore we need to use incentive techniques. In this t ...
