The application of decentralized reputation systems is a promising approach to ensure cooperation and fairness, as well as to address random failures and malicious attacks in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks. However, they are potentially vulnerable to liars. With o ...
Using location information to help routing is often proposed as a means to achieve scalability in large mobile ad-hoc networks. However, location based routing is difficult when there are holes in the network topology and nodes are mobile or frequently dis ...
Node misbehavior due to selfish or malicious reasons or faulty nodes can significantly degrade the performance of mobile ad-hoc networks. To cope with misbehavior in such self-organized networks, nodes need to be able to automatically adapt their strategy ...
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 ...
A hybrid ad hoc network is a structure-based network that is extended using multi-hop communications. Indeed, in this kind of network, the existence of a communication link between the mobile station and the base station is not required: A mobile station t ...
In this paper we propose a set of necessary and sufficient conditions under which the throughput in an ad-hoc network can remain constant as the number of nodes n increases. Throughput refers to the minimum achievable rate between a source-destination pair ...
We present DRIFT --- a total order multicast algorithm for ad hoc networks with mobile or static nodes. Due to the ad hoc nature of the network, DRIFT uses flooding for message propagation. The key idea of DRIFT is virtual flooding --- a way of using unrel ...
Wireless networking technologies allow computing devices to move while keeping them online, but the device mobility poses considerable technical challenges. Network designers, on the one hand, consider mobility to be harmful because it leads to dynamic and ...
Efficiently handling reputation is important in dealing with free-riding, malicious attacks and random failures in self-organized communication systems. At the same time, work in this context is often found to be relevant in many other disciplines, in part ...
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 ...
