Complex networks exist for a number of purposes. The neural, metabolic and food networks ensure our survival, while the social, economic, transportation and communication networks allow us to prosper. Independently of the purposes and particularities of th ...
The topology of a mobile wireless network changes over time. Maintaining routes between all nodes requires the continuous transmission of control information, which consumes precious power and bandwidth resources. Many routing protocols have been developed ...
Greedy (geometric) routing is an important paradigm for routing in communication networks. It uses an embedding of the nodes of a network into points of a space (e.g., R-d) equipped with a distance function (e.g., the Euclidean distance l(2)) and uses as a ...
The technological advancement in the area of wireless networking is ultimately envisioned to reach complete and seamless ubiquity, where every point on earth will need to be covered by Internet access. Low connectivity environments have emerged as a major ...
We consider the Gaussian N-relay diamond network, where a source wants to communicate to destination node through a layer of N-relay nodes. We investigate the following question: what fraction of the capacity can we maintain using only k out of the N avail ...

In sensor networks, a key efficiency measure for routing protocols is the stretch of the computed paths, where the stretch is the ratio of the path length and the Euclidean distance covered. In the literature, many protocols have been evaluated via extensi ...
The power consumption of the Internet and datacenter networks is already significant due to a large degree of redundancy and high idle power consumption of the network elements. Therefore, dynamically matching network resources to the actual load is highly ...
This paper reports experimental results on self-organizing wireless networks carried by small flying robots. Flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) composed of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are flexible, inexpensive and fast to deploy. This makes them a v ...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are collections of sensing devices using wireless communication to exchange data. In the past decades, steep advancements in the areas of microelectronics and communication systems have driven an explosive growth in the depl ...
In many networks, it is less costly to transmit a packet to any node in a set of neighbors than to one specific neighbor. This observation was previously exploited by opportunistic routing protocols by using single-path routing metrics to assign to each no ...
