Ensuring the consistency and the availability of replicated data in highly mobile ad hoc networks is a challenging task because of the lack of a backbone infrastructure. Previous ...
In this paper, we propose an on-demand distributed clustering algorithm for multi-hop packet radio networks. These types of networks, also known as ad hoc networks, are dynamic in ...
—In Ad Hoc networking, cluster-based communication protocol can reduce large amount of flooding packets in route establishment process. However, the 802.11 medium access control ...
—Opportunistic networks represent one of the most interesting evolution of MANET paradigm. Generally speaking, opportunistic networks enable user communication in environments wh...
A connected dominating set (CDS) for a graph G(V, E) is a subset V of V , such that each node in V - V is adjacent to some node in V , and V induces a connected subgraph. A CDS ha...
