Carrier Sense Multiple Access / ID Countdown (CSMA/IC) is a collision-free ad hoc MAC protocol. CSMA/IC avoids simultaneous medium access by competing with a local unique ID assig...
—We argue that the traditional notion of trust as a relation among entities, while useful, becomes insufficient for emerging data-centric mobile ad hoc networks. In these system...

Abstract— Understanding link statistics in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is essential to design adaptive routing protocols and achieve desired network performance. While much a...
Abstract— In this paper, we address the problem of video multicasting in ad hoc wireless networks. The salient characteristics of video traffic make conventional multicasting pr...
