In MANETs (mobile ad hoc networks), mobile terminals can connect with each other directly
and constitute communication networks without network infrastructure such as base stations …

One useful tool in responding to wide-scale disasters is the MANET (Mobile Ad hoc
Network), it is created by network terminals connecting directly to each other with no …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) consist of mobile terminals that directly connect with one
another to communicate without a network infrastructure, such as base stations and/or …

Ad-hoc networks are expected to realize emergency services after disasters. Many
clustering approaches for ad hoc networks have been proposed to satisfy the goals of power …

The mapping of cellular architecture into mobile ad hoc network (MANET) leads to the
design of Linked Cluster Architecture (LCA), where every cluster has a head node …

Hierarchization by clustering is effective for scalable routing control in an ad hoc network.
Due to a constraint from structural features of ad hoc networks, clustering in ad hoc networks …

This paper proposes an autonomous distributed algorithm that can construct spatial
structures for clustering in MANETs. Since the topology of a MANET changes frequently, a …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) can be configured by mobile terminals without any
network infrastructure such as Access Points (APs), and they are expected to be a useful tool …

In order to realize hierarchical routings that should be executed in large-scaled mobile ad
hoc networks that vary their topologies considerably with time, we have developed …

Clustering mechanisms are used in ad hoc networks to achieve network load-balancing
and/or battery power saving. We have proposed a framework for autonomous decentralized …
