With the great potential in flexible network provisioning adapted for various quality of service
(QoS) requirements, software-defined network (SDN) has been considered as one of the …

A generic stochastic model with only two input parameters is introduced to evaluate the
message delay in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) where nodes may relay messages …

Among the" store-carry-forward" kind of protocols, the two-hop relay and its variants have
become a class of attractive routing protocols for the mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) due …

The lack of available and practical analysis about some regular knowledge of mobility
models has limit their applications to mobile ad hoc networks. As the mobility models have …

Broadcast plays a vital role in wireless ad hoc networks for information dissemination, while
one of the key system parameters for maximizing broadcast performance is the transmission …

In this article, we consider a wireless relay network using drones as a temporary
communication system in a large-scale disaster area. We assume that insufficient drones …

Broadcasting is one of the fundamental data dissemination mechanisms in mobile ad hoc
network (MANET), which is, for instance, extensively used in many routing protocols for route …

A vast amount of broadcasting protocols has been developed for wireless ad hoc networks.
To the best of our knowledge, however, these protocols assume a single-radio single …

We present an analytical framework and statistical models to accurately characterize the
lifetime of a wireless link in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). We show that the lifetime of a …

In mobile ad hoc networks, nodes are connected and disconnected regularly; since every
mobile node travels autonomously, those nodes are dispersed not uniformly. Connection …
