IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
The explosive growth in the use of mobile devices coupled with users’ desires for real-time applications has provided new challenges in the design of protocols for mobile ad hoc...
— 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...
Abstract—We consider the location service in a mobile adhoc network (MANET), where each node needs to maintain its location information in the network by (i) frequently updating ...
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET’s) have recently attracted a lot of attention in the research community as well as the industry. This technology has become increasingly important ...
