— Traffic engineering has been extensively studied to maximize network resource utilization while minimizing call blocking [1]. As the the demand for high data rate services ove...
— In this paper, we address the network maintenance problem, in which we aim to maximize the lifetime of a sensor network by adding a set of relays to it. The network lifetime is...
Flooding protocols for wireless networks in general have been shown to be very inefficient and therefore are mainly used in network initialization or route discovery and maintenan...
Pervasive devices interacting in open and dynamic spaces with each others require a mechanism that allows them acting autonomously in a secure way and protecting their resources. ...
— Security has become important to mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) due mainly to their use for many missionand life-critical applications. However, the broadcast nature of inter-...
