This paper provides an asymptotic performance evaluation of network-based or multilateral positioning systems, where the times and/or angles of arrival of the signals traveling from a mobile station (MS) to a set of fixed stations (FSs) are used to estimat ...

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 ...
Multi-hop ad-hoc networks consist of nodes which cooperate by forwarding packets for each other to allow communication beyond the power range of each node. In pure ad-hoc networks, no additional infrastructure is required to allow the nodes to communicate. ...
Existing position-based unicast routing algorithms which forward packets in the geographic direction of the destination require that the forwarding node knows the positions of all neighbors in its transmission range. This information on direct neighbors is ...
In this thesis we study two routing problems related to mobility. The first problem concerns scalable multicast routing when there is a large number of multicast groups with a small number of receivers. Existing dense and sparse mode routing protocols have ...
So far, cellular networks have been operated in ``private" frequency bands. But recently, several researchers and legislators have argued in favor of a more flexible and more efficient management of the spectrum, leading to the possible coexistence of seve ...
We propose a micro-payment scheme for multi-hop cellular networks that encourages collaboration in packet forwarding by letting users benefit from relaying others` packets. At the same time as proposing mechanisms for detecting and rewarding collaboration, ...
The rapid growth of WiFi over the past two years reveals the willingness of the Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) to develop this technology and the interest of the users in this new service. However, the lack of unified roaming slows down the de ...
In military and rescue applications of mobile ad hoc networks, all the nodes belong to the same authority; therefore, they are motivated to cooperate in order to support the basic functions of the network. In this paper, we consider the case when each node ...
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 ...
