Ad hoc networks have the notable capability of enabling spontaneous networks. These
networks are self-initializing, self-configuring, and self-maintaining, even though the …

Clustering is a method by which nodes are hierarchically organized on the basis of their
relative proximity to one another. Routes can be recorded hierarchically, across clusters, to …

Advances in ad hoc network research have opened the door to an assortment of promising
military and commercial applications for ad hoc networks. However, because each …

A novel self-organizing hierarchical architecture is proposed for improving the performance
and scalability properties of ad hoc wireless networks. This paper presents the results of a …

This paper describes a two-level hierarchical architecture for ad hoc networks to resolve the
routing scalability problem. Mobile hosts are organized into nonoverlapping clusters and …

The growing interest in mobile ad hoc network techniques has resulted in many routing
protocol proposals. Scalability issues in ad hoc networks are attracting increasing attention …

Along with expansion of utilization of mobile ad hoc networks, it is expected that the network
size becomes large. However, design of current typical routing protocols supposes at most …

Ad hoc wireless networks perform the difficult task of multi-hop communication in an
environment without a dedicated infrastructure, with mobile nodes and changing network …
