Clustering is an important research topic for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) because
clustering makes it possible to guarantee basic levels of system performance, such as …

The large-scale deployment of fifth generation (5G) is expected to produce a massive
amount of data with high variability due to ultra-densification and the rapid increase in a …

The past few years have witnessed increased interest in the potential use of wireless sensor
networks (WSNs) in applications such as disaster management, combat field …

A wireless network consisting of a large number of small sensors with low-power
transceivers can be an effective tool for gathering data in a variety of environments. The data …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent complex distributed systems that comprise
wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self-organize into arbitrary and …

In this paper, we propose an on-demand distributed clustering algorithm for multi-hop packet
radio networks. These types of networks, also known as ad hoc networks, are dynamic in …

A relative newcomer to the field of wireless communications, ad hoc networking is growing
quickly, both in its importance and its applications. With rapid advances in hardware …

Recently developed classes of wireless networks have blurred the distinction between the
network infrastructure and network clients. Sensor networks, for example, consist of one or …

We consider the problem of securing communication in large ad hoc networks, ie, wireless
networks with no fixed, wired infrastructure and with multi-hop routes. Such networks, eg …

In this paper we describe several new clustering algorithms for nodes in a mobile ad hoc
network. We propose to combine two known approaches into a single clustering algorithm …
