In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), nodes usually cooperate and forward each other's
packets in order to enable out of range communication. However, in hostile environments …

Many efforts have been done towards secure MANETs, but the conventional lines of defense
are still inefficient to put all attacks off. This article examines survivable approaches whose …

Constant connectivity is one of the most challenging requirements modern communication
networks promise to satisfy. 5G and Beyond applications and the proliferation of Internet of …

Routing protocols for a mobile ad hoc network have assumed that all mobile nodes
voluntarily participate in forwarding others' packets. This was a reasonable assumption …

In a mobile ad hoc network, the mobility and resource constraints of mobile nodes may lead
to network partitioning or performance degradation. Several data replication techniques …

This work introduces a model of data forwarding in MANETs which is used for recognizing
malicious packet dropping behaviors. First, different legitimate packet discard situations are …

The applications and protocols conceived for mobile ad hoc networks rely on the
assumption of cooperation amongst the mobile nodes because of lacking infrastructure. All …

In this position paper we argue that applications for the communication between vehicles do
not require the functionality typically offered by mobile ad-hoc-networks or wireless sensor …

Over the last few decades, Cluster‐Based Wireless Sensor Networks (CBWSNs) have
played a crucial role in handling various challenges (load balancing, routing, network …

Mobile ad hoc and sensor networks may consist of a mixture of nodes, some of which may
be considered selfish due to a lack of cooperativeness in providing network services such as …
