In this paper, we consider the problem of power control when nodes are nonhomogeneously
dispersed in space. In such situations, one seeks to employ per packet power control …

Transmit power control is a prototypical example of a cross-layer design problem. The
transmit power level affects signal quality and, thus, impacts the physical layer, determines …

This work explores several system issues regarding the design and implementation of
routing protocols for ad-hoc wireless networks. We examine the routing architecture in …

MeshDV, a routing protocol for wireless mesh networks. MeshDV combines proactive route
computation for routers and on-demand path setup for clients. This design choice eases the …

Routing protocols for multihop wireless networks have traditionally used shortest path
routing to obtain paths to destinations and do not consider traffic load or delay as an explicit …

The subject of this dissertation is ad hoc wireless networks. In such networks packets are
relayed over multiple hops to reach their destination. In order to operate ad hoc networks …

Traditionally, traffic in wireless networks is routed along minimum hop paths from sources to
destinations. It can be theoretically shown that flow avoiding routing provides throughput …

Ad-hoc Networks have been proposed for a variety of applications where support for real
time, multimedia services may be necessary. In order to operate ad-hoc networks several …

We consider the problem of transmit power control in ad hoc networks. We show that
reducing the transmit power increases network's traffic carrying capacity and decreases the …
