The pervasiveness of wireless technology has indeed created massive opportunity to
integrate almost everything into the Internet fabric. This can be seen with the advent of …

The increasing importance of Wi-Fi in today's wireless communication systems, both as a
result of Wi-Fi offloading and its integration in IoT devices, makes it an ideal target for …

Transmission power control (TPC) has been extensively used not only to save energy, but
also to improve the network throughput in wireless ad hoc networks. Among the existing …

In this paper, we propose for multi-rate ad hoc networks a cross-layer design using power
control, called MRPC. MRPC consists of two parts. First, we propose a multi-rate power …

A cross-layer approach is investigated to improve data security in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(MANETs). The use of directional antennas and intelligent multipath routing is proposed to …

This paper addresses the challenge of load balance and network lifetime extension in
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We propose a novel distributed clustering approach for …

The remarkable evolution of wireless networks into the next generation to provide ubiquitous
and seamless broadband applications has recently triggered the emergence of Wireless …

In this paper, we propose a novel energy-efficient route-discovery scheme with transmission
power control (TPC) for ad hoc networks. The proposed scheme is very simple and improves …

(MRMC-WMNs) operate at the backbone to access and route high volumes of traffic
simultaneously. Such roles demand high network capacity, and long “online” time at the …

Abstract Stations in IEEE 802.11 ad-hoc WLAN protocol exchange frames by contending for
the channel and follow the binary exponential backoff for retransmitting the frames on …
