Ad hoc networks have a scalability problem. When the nodes of an ad hoc network increase
in number or mobility, the amount of control traffic for routing increases and could cause …

The dynamic topology of a mobile ad hoc network poses a real challenge in the design of
hierarchical routing protocol, which combines proactive with reactive routing protocols and …

In recent years, various types of ad hoc routing protocols have been studied in the mobile ad
hoc networks. Specifically, the cluster-based hierarchical routing algorithms have been …

Wireless ad hoc networks are dynamically organized by a collection of wireless mobile
hosts. In ad hoc networks, any pre-established wired or wireless infrastructures and the …

This paper presents a novel framework for dynamically organizing mobile nodes in wireless
ad hoc networks into clusters in which the probability of path availability can be bounded …

We consider an ad hoc network that can form a flat or a hierarchical architecture. Basically
all the mobile nodes form a flat network and some mobile nodes are able to be cluster …

Routing is one of the fundamental but challenging issues in mobile ad hoc networks. During
the past several years, a large number of routing protocols have been proposed, which can …

Mobile ad hoc networks consist of wireless hosts that communicate with each other without
the support of fixed infrastructure. In case of large network, a flat structure may not be the …

Routing in mobile ad hoc network must be efficient and resource-saving. Mobility causes
frequent changes in the topology, which leads to inappropriate routing. One way to reduce …
