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...
Topology management schemes conserve energy in wireless ad hoc networks by identifying redundant nodes that may turn off their radios or other components while maintaining connec...
The efficiency of a communication network depends not only on its control protocols, but also on its topology. We propose a distributed topology management algorithm that construc...
—In this paper, we present an extended Mobile Backbone Network (MBN) topology synthesis algorithm (ETSA) for constructing and maintaining a dynamic backbone structure in mobile w...
Abstract. Ad-hoc networks do not provide an infrastructure for communication such as routers and are characterized by 1) quick changes of communication topology and 2) unstable sys...
