Random contentions occur in optical burst-switched (OBS) networks because of one-way signaling and lack of optical buffers. These contentions can occur at low loads and are not nec...
Token passing medium access control (MAC) protocols are gaining interest amongst wireless ad hoc network researchers as they provide unrivalled advantages over the existing IEEE 80...
Sensor networks have recently gained popularity for a wide spectrum of applications. When performing monitoring tasks in hostile environments, security requirements become critical...
In this paper, we present Hierarchy-Based Anycast Routing (HAR), a routing protocol for collecting data over multi-hop, wireless sensor networks. The design of the protocol aims t...
Abstract. We propose a way to establish peer-to-peer authenticated communications over an insecure channel by using an extra channel which can authenticate very short strings, e.g....
