Self-organized networks such as mobile ad-hoc, Internet-based peer-to-peer, wireless mesh and Fourth Generation (4G) Wireless networks depend on cooperation of nodes. Reputation systems help nodes decide with whom to cooperate and which nodes to avoid. The ...
Wireless social community networks formed by users with a WiFi access point have been created as an alternative to traditional wireless networks that operate in the licensed spectrum. By relying on access points owned by users for access, wireless communit ...
IEEE 802.11 is probably the most widely used, medium access control protocol in current wireless networks. In the Wireless LAN (i.e., single-hop) setting, its performance is by now quite well understood. However, in the multi-hop setting where relay nodes ...
Wireless Ad Hoc Networks are a particular paradigm where wireless devices communicate in a decentralized fashion, without any centralized infrastructure or decision. In order to avoid a situation where nodes chaotically try to communicate, distributed and ...
This thesis studies communication and agreement protocols in wireless ad hoc networks from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The last decade has given rise to the rapid growth of wireless telecommunications such as cellular mobile phone networks ...
Solving consensus in wireless ad hoc networks has started to be addressed in several papers. Most of these papers adopt system models developed for wired networks. These models are focused towards node failures while ignoring link failures, and thus are po ...
A wireless sensor network designates a system composed of numerous sensor nodes distributed over an area in order to collect information. The sensor nodes communicate wirelessly with each other in order to self-organize into a multi-hop network, collaborat ...
We address the problem of securing the route discovery in mobile ad hoc networks, proposing a light-weight yet robust routing protocol, the Distance- Vector Secure Routing Protocol (DV-SRP). DV-SRP discovers on-demand multiple routes, which are established ...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) represent a new and promising paradigm that uses multi-hop communications to extend WiFi networks: By deploying only one hot spot (directly connected to the Internet) and several transient access points (TAPs), an Internet Ser ...
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 ...
