Mobile ad hoc networking has been an active research area for several years. How to
stimulate cooperation among selfish mobile nodes, however, is not well addressed yet. In …

In the minimum energy broadcasting problem, each node can adjust its transmission power
in order to minimize total energy consumption but still enable a message originated from a …

Directional antennas can be useful in significantly increasing the capacity of wireless ad hoc
networks. With directional antennas, independent communications between nodes can …

Directional and smart antennas can be useful in increasing the capacity of wireless ad hoc
networks. A number of media access and routing protocols have been recently proposed for …

We investigate the power-efficient broadcast routing problem using directional antennas.
Our main interest is in the case when antenna beamwidth becomes very small. We consider …

As the use of small portable and mobile computing devices increases, ad hoc networks have
become an increasingly popular topic of research and development activities. Cross-layer …

Nodes in ad hoc networks typically rely on battery energy. The wireless interface is one of
the major drain on energy reserves of the nodes. Turning off network interfaces of idle nodes …

Allocation in Multipath Ad Hoc Networks by Petar Djukic A thesis submitted in conformity with …

In this thesis, I present the design and evaluation of new techniques for using directional
antennas to save energy and to bridge network partitions in a mobile ad hoc network. This …

Several recent papers consider the use of multiple antennas at each node in a wireless ad
hoc network. Assuming line of sight propagation, multiple antennas are used to implement …
