Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) possess numerous and unique characteristics, such as
high channel error-rate, severe link-layer contentions, frequent link breakage (due to node …

Recent technological developments have caused a rapid increase in the use of portable
devices around the globe. However, these devices comprise limited processing resources …

In emergency situations, infrastructure-based wireless access networks (eg, WLANs, cellular
networks) may collapse due to power outage or infrastructure damages. To enable …

Energy efficient routing in ad hoc networks has been the subject of intensive study in recent
years. Most work has been focused on residual battery power related cost metrics for a …

Optimizing the transmission ranges between nodes and balancing the number of nodes
among clusters are two feasible approaches to conserve the limited battery power in …

The emerging paradigm of Machine to Machine (M2M)-driven Internet of Things (IoT), where
physical objects are not disconnected from the virtual world but aim at collectively provide …

A collection of mobile devices is defined as a Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET). Without any
prior management these devices can communicate and synchronize with one another. The …

Abstract Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) are crucial in environments lacking permanent
infrastructure, with energy efficiency being a primary concern due to the reliance on battery …

We pursue an analytical approach to energy consumption characterization of large scale
mobile ad hoc networks. An energy aware hybrid routing strategy is proposed and analyzed …

Primitive routing protocols for ad-hoc networks are “power hungry” and can therefore
consume considerable amount of the limited amount of battery power resident in the nodes …
