Dynamic Routing for Flying Ad Hoc Networks

Dario Floreano, Bixio Rimoldi, Stefano Rosati, Grégoire Hilaire Marie Heitz, Karol Jacek Kruzelecki

This paper reports experimental results on self-organizing wireless networks carried by small flying robots. Flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) composed of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are flexible, inexpensive and fast to deploy. This makes them a v ...

Hierarchical Routing Over Dynamic Wireless Networks

Matthias Grossglauser, Suhas Diggavi, Dominique Florian Tschopp

The topology of a mobile wireless network changes over time. Maintaining routes between all nodes requires the continuous transmission of control information, which consumes precious power and bandwidth resources. Many routing protocols have been developed ...

Wireless Network Simplification: The Gaussian N-Relay Diamond Network

Christina Fragouli

We consider the Gaussian N-relay diamond network, where a source wants to communicate to destination node through a layer of N-relay nodes. We investigate the following question: what fraction of the capacity can we maintain using only k out of the N avail ...

Implementation of a Wireless Mesh Network of Ultra Light MAVs with Dynamic Routing

Dario Floreano, Bixio Rimoldi, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Alberto Jimenez Pacheco, Yannick Gasser

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 ...

Signaling and Reciprocity : Robust Decentralized Information Flows in Social, Communication, and Computer Networks

Wojciech Galuba

Complex networks exist for a number of purposes. The neural, metabolic and food networks ensure our survival, while the social, economic, transportation and communication networks allow us to prosper. Independently of the purposes and particularities of th ...

Neighbor discovery with reception status feedback to transmitters

Ramin Khalili

Neighbor discovery is essential for the process of self-organization of a wireless network, where almost all routing and medium access protocols need knowledge of one-hop neighbors. In this paper we study the problem of neighbor discovery in a static and s ...

Routing and search on large scale networks

Dominique Florian Tschopp

In this thesis, we address two seemingly unrelated problems, namely routing in large wireless ad hoc networks and comparison based search in image databases. However, the underlying problem is in essence similar and we can use the same strategy to attack t ...

Efficient Broadcasting Using Network Coding

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Christina Fragouli, Jörg Widmer

We consider the problem of broadcasting in an ad hoc wireless network, where all nodes of the network are sources that want to transmit information to all other nodes. Our figure of merit is energy efficiency, a critical design parameter for wireless net- ...

Secure incentives to cooperate for wireless networks

Naouel Ben Salem

The operating principle of certain wireless networks makes essential the cooperation between the mobile nodes. However, if each node is an autonomous selfish entity, cooperation is not guaranteed and therefore we need to use incentive techniques. In this t ...

Mobility in wireless networks: friend or foe : network design and control in the age of mobile computing

Jun Luo

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 ...
