An ad-hoc network is the cooperative engagement of a collection of typically wireless mobile nodes without the required intervention of any centralized access point or existing ...
Pervasive computing allows data to be collected using sensors and mobile devices. Recent studies, however, show that in emergency and crisis situations conventional access control ...
Reactive routing protocols like Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing in Ad-Hoc Wireless Networks (DSR) which are used in Mobile and Ad-hoc Ne...
In this paper, we propose a new Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for full exploitation of directional antennas in wireless networks. The protocol introduces a circular directio...
Ad hoc cross-agency teams are often needed to deal with actual, imminent, or potential crises that involve multiple geographic or political jurisdictions or require coordinated ex...
