Motivated by the benefits of small-world networks, we propose a self-organization framework
for wireless ad hoc networks. We investigate the use of directional beamforming for creating …

It is highly desirable and challenging for a wireless ad hoc network to have self-organization
properties in order to achieve wide network characteristics. Studies have shown that Small …

The prevalence of the small-world phenomenon in numerous efficient networks, such as
social networks, Internet, nervous systems, implies that small-worlds are an evolutionary …

In this paper, we present an analytical model for evaluating the impact of shadowing and
beamforming on the connectivity of wireless ad hoc networks accommodating nodes …

We propose a novel localized topology-control algorithm for each wireless node to locally
select communication neighbors and adjust its transmission power accordingly such that all …

With the growing abundance of portable wireless communication devices, a challenging
question that arises is whether one can efficiently harness the collective communication and …

Using the fact that effective wireless range decreases in inverse function of local traffic
density, we show that a variable traffic density impacts the curvature of paths in a dense …

In this paper, we present a distributed and scalable evolutionary game played by
autonomous mobile ad hoc network (MANET) nodes to place themselves uniformly over a …

Wireless and mobile computing have advanced significantly in the last decade. In particular,
we now face the challenge to spontaneously establish wireless self-organizing networks …

This paper investigates how the small world concept can be applied in the context of
wireless ad hoc networks. Different from wireless ad hoc networks, small world networks …
