In this paper, we propose a new approach to the problem of adaptive routing in small scale Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET). The proposed approach focuses on leveraging the already existing routing algorithms in real-time through switching from one ...

Many applications require a lifetime of several years from a sensor network while expecting low and guaranteed end-to-end delays between sources and a sink. Obviously, these two parameters - lifetime and delay - contradict each other. In this work we ...

We propose to study the quality of CDS-based virtual backbones generated by fully distributed algorithms in mobile environments. As virtual-backbones may be used for different purposes, the importance of a characteristic may vary accordingly. In order ...

Emergency response scenarios where team members coordinate impromptu towards the common human rescue goal are pushing to the extreme the demand for novel services fully aware of any (dynamically collected) relevant information describing the disaster ...

The heterogeneity depicted by wireless networks and spectrum availability in emergent technologies means that mobility management has got to deal with unconventional changes in operational environment by cognising the changes and adapting accordingly. ...

In this article, we present fast local mobility management with bi-casting tunnels for mobile devices with multiple interfaces. The IETF standard HMIPv6 has been extended where bi-casting tunnels between an access router and the mobile node are ...

In this research we focus on developing positioning scheme based on short-range wireless signals. To achieve that, we develop a system assuming the availability of multiple fixed access points (5+) and employ Time-of-Arrival (ToA) with Kalman Filter. We ...

The development of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) highlights the need of connecting vehicles to the infrastructure. Indeed, many ITS applications rely on such connections to offer new on board services. The networking architecture allowing ...

We address the channel assignment problem in a multi-radio mesh network that involves assigning channels to radio interfaces for eliminating the effect of wireless interference. Due to the insufficient number of frequency channels and available radios ...

Interference is a fundamental problem in wireless networks, even in sparse topologies. Power Control (PC) is a powerful tool for mitigating it, however how to apply it to achieve the desired results is not obvious and satisfying the goals of all ...

Wireless Sensor Networks have emerged as a promising technology for enabling embedded sensing in many daily life applications. The ever growing popularity of wireless devices has caused crowding of the existing spectrum. One of the major issues faced by ...

The Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the successor technology of the 3G wireless system. The high data rates enabled by LTE can benefit from a strong computational power provided by today's high-performance embedded processors. In this work we therefore ...

Mobile Ad Hoc networks, due to the unattended nature of the network itself and the dispersed location of nodes, are subject to several unique security issues. One of the most vexed security threat is node capture. A few solutions have already been ...

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) techniques are widely used due not only to their inherent interference rejection and multiple access capability, but also to their relative immunity from multipath effects, which are encountered in UWA channels. In ...

Disruption tolerant networks (DTNs) is a research area aiming at developing network communication when connectivity is intermittent and prone to disruptions. DTNs have many applications in remote and hazardous areas where they need to operate over long ...

How to select a proper access network for providing Quality of Service (QoS) in a heterogeneous environment is a unsolved question. This paper introduces a novel ranking algorithm to evaluate the QoS in heterogeneous networks by posing the problem as a ...

This paper proposes a firework search for location aided routing enhancement (FLARE) in mobile ad-hoc networks. The proposed protocol, FLARE, is a location aided, beaconless, and pure reactive topology based routing protocol. FLARE uses a firework ...

FemtoCells' deployment presents a major challenge. In fact, these femto-base stations are often seen as hostile interferers by macroCells. Therefore, the optimization of the radio resource allocation to femtoCells is essential to decrease the ...
