This paper is motivated by the observation that current research in ad hoc networks mostly assumes a physically flat network architecture with the nodes having homogeneous charact...
The growing popularity of ad hoc networks is making their limitations, such as bandwidth and power restrictions, more apparent. As a result, techniques that reduce power consumpti...
Numerous clustering algorithms have been proposed that can support routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). However, there is very little formal analysis that considers the comm...
Abstract. Providing energy efficiency in MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, while achieving desirable throughput, is an important research issue in the area of wireless networking....
