This paper presents a mathematical framework for the evaluation of the performance of
proactive and reactive routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). This unified …

Abstract The 11th Joint Exhibition of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States provides a
focus for a study of emerging market firms' behavior at a trade show. The exhibition industry …

rdquoThe paper presents a mathematical framework for quantifying the overhead of
proactive routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). We focus on situations …

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is composed of Mobile Nodes (MNs) without any fix
infrastructure. Currently, It is one of the most attractive research topics in the wireless …

We study routing overhead due to location information collection and retrieval in mobile ad-
hoc networks employing geographic routing with no hierarchy. We first provide a new …

Simulation studies have been the predominant method of evaluating ad hoc routing
algorithms. Despite their wide use and merits, simulations are generally time consuming …

In this paper, we analyze the packet delivery reliability of ad hoc routing protocols for loss-
and-delay sensitive applications. Since a typical flooding-based route discovery used in ad …

The hierarchical architecture has been proven effective for solving the scalability problems
in large-scale ad hoc networks. The stability of the hierarchical architecture is a key factor in …

Overheads incurred by routing protocols diminish the capacity available for relaying useful
data over a mobile wireless ad hoc network. Discovering and understanding the lower …

In this paper, we extend an information-theoretic approach for characterizing the minimum
cost of tracking the motion state information, such as locations and velocities, of nodes in …
