When physical communication network infrastructures fail, infrastructure-less communication
networks such as mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET), can provide an alternative. This …

In MANETs, mobile devices are usually powered by batteries with limited energy supplies.
Topology control is a promising approach, which conserves energy by either reducing …

An ad hoc network is a multi-hop wireless network that is established by a group of mobile
nodes without depending on any infrastructure. Due to the disconnected nature of such …

Topology control with per-node transmission power adjustment is an effective way to extend
network lifetime. However, due to the commonly used assumption of homogeneous wireless …

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self‐organized and adaptive wireless network
formed by dynamically gathering mobile nodes. Since the topology of the network is …

This paper deals with distributed creation and maintaining of ad hoc networks including
diverse wireless devices, namely sensors, PDA, cell phones, and video games consoles. A …

In this work we introduce two practical and interesting models of ad-hoc mobile networks:(a)
hierarchical ad-hoc networks, comprised of dense subnetworks of mobile users …

Mobile ad hoc networks are constrained by the interference of wireless communications and
by limited battery lifetime. To address these issues, topology control aims to maintain a …

In this paper, we discuss the management of scalable mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) in
which nodes are equipped with a range of adjustable capabilities (transmission range, data …

Mobile adhoc networks are characterized by low-bandwidth, lossy links and by constant
topology change. Traditional network management techniques, which were designed for …
