An important problem in wireless networks, such as wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, is to select a few nodes to form a virtual backbone that supports routing and other tasks s...
Abstract— Limited resources and time-varying nature of wireless ad hoc networks demand optimized use of resources across layers. Cross-layer optimization (CLO) for wireless netwo...
The IEEE 802.11x MAC protocol, the de facto standard for wireless LANs, includes a distributed coordination function (DCF) mode usable for ad hoc network architectures. The Transm...
Abstract: Overlay Multicast networks in mobile ad-hoc environments have received much attention due to their increasing number of practical applications. Although overlay multicast...
