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...
: Virtual backbone-based routing is a promising approach for enhancing the routing efficiency in MANETs. To establish communication in the network, the virtual backbone nodes have ...

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 ...
—In mobile ad hoc networks, solving the standard problems encountered in fixed networks can be challenging because of the unpredictable motion of mobile nodes. Due to the lack o...
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...
