In multi-hop cellular networks, data packets have to be relayed hop by hop from a given mobile station to a base station and vice-versa. This means that the mobile stations must accept to forward information for the benefit of other stations. In this paper ...
Among the challenging issues that affect the performance of wireless location techniques is the temporal and spatial variations of the channel, and the distribution of the scatterers, which introduce non-line-of sight errors at the base station. This paper ...
We consider the question of what performance metric to maximize when designing ad-hoc wireless network protocols such as routing or MAC. We focus on maximizing rates under battery lifetime and power constraints. Commonly used metrics are total capacity (in ...
In multi-hop wireless networks, every node is expected to forward packets for the benefit of other nodes. Yet, if each node is its own authority, then it may selfishly deny packet forwarding in order to save its own resources. Some researchers have propose ...

Multi-hop hybrid networks can help providing both high bandwidth and broad coverage for wireless data networks. We focus on CSMA/CA-based networks and take IEEE 802.11 as a concrete example. We show that the three fundamental operations of synchronization, ...
Although far from optimal, flooding is an in- dispensable message dissemination technique for network- wide broadcast within mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). As such, the plain flooding algorithm provokes a high number of unnecessary packet rebroadcasts, c ...
We study the impact of interferences on the connectivity of large-scale ad-hoc networks, using percolation theory. We assume that a bi-directional connection can be set up between two nodes if the signal to noise ratio at reception is larger than some thre ...
We consider a large-scale wireless network, but with a low density of nodes per unit area. Interferences are then less critical, contrary to connectivity. This paper studies the latter property for both a purely ad-hoc network and a hybrid network, where f ...
