Abstract. The proliferation of group-centric computing and communication motivates the need for mechanisms to provide group access control. Group access control includes mechanisms...
— In wireless ad hoc networks (WANETs), e.g. wireless sensor networks, battery-powered devices are constrained by limited amount of energy. Many WANET applications require that t...
Ad hoc networks formed without the aid of any established infrastructure are typically multi-hop networks. Location dependent contention and "hidden terminal" problem ma...
— Wireless communication is a critical component of battlefield networks. Nodes in a battlefield network exist in hostile environments and thus fault-tolerance against node and...
Since the physical topology of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is generally unstable, an appealing approach is the construction of a stable and robust virtual topology or backbone...
