In secure group communications, a key server can deliver a "grouporiented" rekey message [22] to a large number of users efficiently using multicast. For reliable delive...
The IEEE 802.11x MAC protocol, the de facto standard for wireless LANs, includes a distributed coordination function (DCF) mode usable for ad hoc network architectures. The Transm...
—Partially Overlapped Channel (POC) based design, has been identified recently as a promising technique to overcome the capacity bottleneck facing wireless engineers in various ...
Abstract: In ad-hoc networks, mobile devices communicate via wireless links without the aid of any fixed networking infrastructure. These devices must be able to discover services ...
— Multicast-based data communication is an efficient communication scheme especially in multihop ad hoc networks where the MAC layer is based on one-hop broadcast from one sourc...
