Ad hoc networks represent a key factor in the evolution of wireless communications. These networks typically consist of equal nodes that communicate without central control, inter...
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...
—Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have recently emerged to be a cost-effective solution to support large-scale wireless Internet access. One important component of realizing large-s...
A great challenge in securing sensor networks is that sensor nodes can be physically compromised. Once a node is compromised, attackers can retrieve secret information (e.g. keys)...
— Adaptive antennas are currently being integrated into wireless systems. As one of the first standards the wireless metropolitan area network IEEE 802.16 provides means to suppo...
