Network conditions suddenly and unpredictably vary in wireless ad hoc networks. Ad hoc
protocols should adjust their behavior to network dynamics in order to improve their …

Most existing mobile ad hoc routing protocols preset the parameters for the nodes based on
some assumed network conditions. Because of the dynamic characteristics of a MANET …

Dynamic ad hoc networks are mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) where network
characteristics, such as network density and node mobility, change significantly over time …

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 …

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

Recent debate in the research community has focused around the following question:
should the design of routing algorithms for ad-hoc networks be predicated upon the …

Position-based routing protocols use location information to refine the traditional packet
flooding method in mobile ad hoc networks. They mainly focus on densely and evenly …

The study conducted in this paper evaluates the performance of on-demand mobile ad hoc
wireless network protocols under varying node densities in a large network. The focus in this …

Mobile ad hoc networks are wireless multi-hop networks with a completely distributed
organization. The dynamic nature of these networks imposes many challenges on mobile ad …

A central challenge in ad hoc networks is the design of routing protocols that can adapt their
behavior to frequent and rapid changes in the network. The performance of proactive and …
