Abstract—In this paper, we present the implementation issues of a virtual backbone that supports the operations of the Uniform Quorum System (UQS) and the Randomized Database Gro...
Since the physical topology of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is generally unstable, an appealing approach is the construction of a stable and robust virtual topology or backbone...
An important problem in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks is to select a few nodes to form a virtual backbone that supports routing and other tasks such as area monitoring. Prev...
A k-hop dominating set is a subset of nodes such that each node not in the set can be reached within k hops from at least one node in the set. A connected k-hop dominating set can ...
