Movements of nodes in MANETs result in route changes, thus requiring the transmission of control packets. As MANETs have limited resources, it is important to reduce the number of...
We consider the problem of control traffic overhead in MANETs with long-lived connections, operating under a reactive routing protocol (e.g. AODV). In such settings, control traff...
A crucial issue for a mobile ad hoc network is the handling of a large number of nodes. As more nodes join the mobile ad hoc network, contention and congestion are more likely. Th...
A Mobile Ad-hoc Network has limited and scarce resources and thus routing protocols in such environments must be kept as simple as possible. The Simple Ant Routing Algorithm (SARA...
— Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are seen as an essential technology to support future Pervasive Computing Scenarios and 4G networks. In a MANET, efficient support of multipoint...
