Wireless mesh networks were designed as a mean to rapidly deliver large-scale communication capabilities without the support of any prior infrastructure. Among the different properties of mesh networks, the self-organizing feature is particularly interesti ...
This paper describes the implementation and characterisation of a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) of ultra-light intelligent flying robots. The flying nature of the network makes it suitable to collect or disseminate content in urban areas or challenging ter ...
Connectivity is an important key performance indicator and a focal point of research in large-scale wireless networks. Due to path-loss attenuation of electromagnetic waves, direct wireless connectivity is limited to proximate devices. Nevertheless, connec ...
The goal of jointly providing efficiency and fairness in wireless networks can be seen as the problem of maximizing a given utility function. In contrast with wired networks, the capacity of wireless networks is typically time-varying and not known explici ...
While wired infrastructure constitutes the backbone of most wireless networks, wireless systems appeal the most to the dynamic and rapidly evolving requirements of today's communication systems because of their ease of deployment and mobility, not to menti ...
We consider a wireless network with a large number of source-destination pairs distributed over a line. Under line-of-sight propagation, this network has only one degree of freedom for communication. At high SNR, this one degree of freedom can be readily a ...
This work studies how to build wireless network protocols that achieve better reliability, lower delay and higher throughput than existing alternatives by using network coding and by exploiting the broadcast nature of the wireless channel. In the first par ...
Scalable, reliable underwater communication is still a major challenge limiting the deployment of large-scale cooperative underwater systems, such as swarms of AUVs, which generally rely on frequent updates from surrounding units for control and mission ob ...
In this thesis we focus on understanding, measuring and describing the performance of Opportunistic Networks (ONs) and their applications. An “opportunistic network” is a term introduced to describe a sparse, wireless, ad hoc network with highly mobile nod ...
We present a protocol that enables to create pairwise keys between nodes in a wireless network, so that the keys are secure from an adversary, Eve, with unbounded computational and memory capabilities, but with limited network presence. Our proposed protoc ...
