In recent years, there has emerged applications of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs)
towards security, safety, rescue, exploration, military and communication redundancy …

Clustering is an effective solution to handle challenges due to lack of centralized controllers
and infrastructure in ad-hoc networks. Clustered network topologies offer better scalability …

In this paper, we study the clustering problem for crossroads in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks
(VANETs). Considering the load balancing of both the whole network and each cluster …

Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANETs) is a collection of intelligent vehicles aims to get control
over transportation problems and reduce accidental ratio. Clustering refers to the …

In ad hoc networks, a diversity of routing protocols exists. Each network selects a routing
protocol suitable for its own environment such as a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), a …

Control and user (data) plane separation (CUPS) is a concept applied in various networking
areas to scale network resources independently, increase the quality of service, and …

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a group of mobile nodes that are capable of forming a
network without the need of any administrator. Nodes in such a network are battery operated …

In this article, we examine some major challenges to be solved in order to provide efficient
end-to-end connectivity, resource management and QoS in a tactical military heterogeneous …

Routing is considered to be one the most challenging problems in mobile ad hoc networks. It
has been shown that the use of virtual coordinates or identifiers for efficient routing and data …

As more IP-capable tactical MANETs are fielded, the creation of backbone-like structures
through dynamic interconnection of tactical networks becomes increasingly feasible. Such …
