Abstract. In this paper, we propose a completely distributed topology generation mechanism named HPC5 for Gnutella network. A Gnutella topology will be efficient and scalable if it...
Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are failure-prone environments; it is common for mobile wireless nodes to intermittently disconnect from the network, e.g., due to signal blockage....
Traditional wireless broadcast protocols rely heavily on the 802.11-based CSMA/CA model, which avoids interference and collision by conservatively scheduling transmissions. While C...
Traditional routing indices in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are mainly designed for document retrieval applications and maintain aggregated one-dimensional values representing the ...
Sensor networks are poised for increasingly wider uses in many military and civil applications. We present a bootstrapping protocol for a class of sensor networks in which the net...
