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 ...
Many routing protocols for wireless ad hoc networks proposed in the literature use flooding to discover paths between the source and the destination node. Despite various broadcast optimization techniques, flooding remains expensive in terms of bandwidth and ...
This paper (in Frensh) summarizes recent results obtained by using shot noise processes for two applications in communication networks: first, TCP/IP traffic models for backbone networks; and next the study of connectivity under rate constraints in wireles ...
Wireless communication today supports heterogeneous wireless devices with a number of different wireless network interfaces (WNICs). A large fraction of communication is infrastructure based, so the wireless access points and hotspot servers have become mo ...
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 ...
A wireless sensor network designates a system composed of numerous sensor nodes distributed over an area in order to collect information. The sensor nodes communicate wirelessly with each other in order to self-organize into a multi-hop network, collaborat ...
This paper describes a multi-relay strategy for wireless networks and examines the influence of imperfect channel information on system performance. A modified relay scheme is proposed to compensate for such imperfections. ...
Some forms of ad-hoc networks need to operate in extremely performance- challenged environments where end-to-end connectivity is rare. Such environments can be found for example in very sparse mobile networks where nodes ”meet” only occasionally and are ab ...
Improving network lifetime is an important issue involved in every aspect of the design and deployment of wireless sensor networks. There is a recent research trend of studying the application of a mobile sink to transport (rather than let the sensor nodes ...
This paper presents the Simple Packet Combining (SPaC) error-correction scheme for wireless sensor networks. Nodes buffer corrupt packets, and when two or more corrupt versions of a packet have been received, a packet combining procedure attempts to recove ...
