Energy consumption is a crucial design concern in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), since
nodes are powered by batteries with limited energy, whereas in existing dynamic source …

A new cross-layer routing protocol, named Dynamic Packet Guidance (DPG), is introduced
for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Simulation results show that DPG is quite useful for …

Large military ad hoc networks are often characterized by the interconnection of
heterogeneous domains. The same trend is emerging in civilian MANETs (eg, search and …

Routing is a fundamental component in the operation of ad hoc networks. Nodes must
cooperatively create and manage the network without the support of any centralized …

A model is a simplified representation of a system that aids the understanding and
investigation of the real system. Simulation is the manipulation of the model of a system that …

Caching has been used to improve the performance of network-dependent computer
system. A number of cache replacement schemes along with invalidation reports schemes …

The main research area of the International Graduate School on Mobile Communication (GS
Mobicom) at Ilmenau University of Technology is communication in disaster scenarios. Due …

For efficient transformation of information, Routing is needed. The requirement of quality
constraints have been increased due to the variety of applications involved. This has escort …

This thesis describes research into communication protocols required by a wireless mesh
network (WMN) that would be deployed to support emergency rescue teams in a disaster …

Location information improves the routing effectiveness and facilitates the development of
diverse novel applications in mobile networking. Although more people enjoy Internet and …
