Multi-hop Broadcast from Theory to Reality: Practical Design for Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Alaeddine El Fawal

We propose a complete design for a scope limited, multi-hop broadcast middleware, which is adapted to the variability of the ad-hoc environment and works in unlimited ad-hoc networks such as a crowd in a city, or car passengers in a busy highway system. We ...

On the throughput scaling of wireless relay networks

Patrick Thiran, Olivier Dousse

The throughput of wireless networks is known to scale poorly when the number of users grows. The rate at which an arbitrary pair of nodes can communicate must decrease to zero as the number of users tends to infinity, under various assumptions. One of them ...

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 ...

Reliable Broadcast in Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

André Schiper, David Cavin, Yoav Sasson

We propose a single source reliable broadcasting algorithm for linear grid-based networks where a message is guaranteed to be delivered to all the nodes of the network. The nodes are mobile and can move from one grid point to another. The solution does not ...

Performance Analysis of Self Limiting Epidemic Forwarding

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Alaeddine El Fawal

Self limiting epidemic forwarding is a method of epidemic information dissemination in wireless ad-hoc networks that achieves congestion control by limiting spread (i.e. the number of nodes that receive a given message) and injection rate in order to prese ...

Island Hopping: Efficient Mobility-Assisted Forwarding in Partitioned Networks

Matthias Grossglauser, Natasa Sarafijanovic-Djukic

Mobile wireless ad hoc and sensor networks can be permanently partitioned in many interesting scenarios. This implies that instantaneous end-to-end routes do not exist. Nevertheless, when nodes are mobile, it is possible to forward messages to their destin ...

Distributed Media Rate Allocation in Multipath Networks

Pascal Frossard, Dan Jurca

The paper addresses the media-specific rate allocation problem in multipath networks. The streaming rate on each path is determined such that the end-to-end media distortion is minimized, when the receiving client aggregates packets received via multiple n ...

A new relaying scheme for cheap wireless relay nodes

Ramin Khalili

In this paper we will propose a relaying scheme for wireless multi-hop networks. It is based on collaboration of intermediate relays at network layer to forward useful side information in place of dumbly forwarding packets. In our scheme we assume that the ...

A cross-layer design of wireless ad-hoc networks

We consider a cross-layer design of wireless ad-hoc networks. Traditional networking approaches optimize separately each of the three layers: physical layer, medium access and routing. This may lead to largely suboptimal network designs. In this work, we p ...
