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 …

An ad hoc wireless network has no fixed networking infrastructure. It consists of multiple,
possibly mobile, nodes that maintain network connectivity through wireless communications …

In this paper, we consider the problem of power control when nodes are nonhomogeneously
dispersed in space. In such situations, one seeks to employ per packet power control …

Service discovery is an integral part of the ad hoc networking to achieve stand-alone and
self-configurable communication networks. In this paper, we discuss possible service …

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are a specific kind of wireless networks that can be
quickly deployed without pre-existing infrastructures. They are used in different contexts …

Service discovery is indispensable to ad hoc networking where establishing a stand-alone
and self-configurable communication environment is the main objective. In this paper, we …

Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) has become an increasingly active research area with a
plethora of work in ad-hoc routing, media access, and protocols, etc. However, much of the …

The availability of cheaper, faster, and more reliable electronic components has stimulated
important advances in computing and communication technologies. Theoretical and …

The topology of an ad hoc network has a significant impact on its performance in that a
dense topology may induce high interference and low capacity, while a sparse topology is …

Backbone has been used extensively in various aspects (eg, routing, route maintenance,
broadcast, scheduling) for wireless networks. Previous methods are mostly designed to …
