The self-motivated environment of mobile nodes confronts the connectivity and the stability
in mobile MANETs. In MANETs, nodes are usually defined as a network which is created …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are self-organized networks without any fixed
infrastructure. The topology changes are very frequent in MANETs due to nodes' mobility …

Abstract Wireless Ad hoc networks (WANETs) and Mobile Ad hoc networks are
infrastructures less network structures made of energy-constrained nodes. These networks …

Recently, several studies have been conducted to design mobility-based multicast routing
protocols for wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). These protocols assume that the …

In vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), the size of routing table can be reduced with the help
of clustering architecture. The frequent changes in topology are the noteworthy …

The in-network caching strategy in named data networking can not only reduce the
unnecessary fetching of content from the original content server deep in the core network …

Clustering is an effective method which can increase the performance of large-scale ad hoc
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks. However, the ad hoc UAV networks have the …

Vertex coloring problem is a combinatorial optimization problem in which a color is assigned
to each vertex of the graph such that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. Cellular …

In mobile adhoc networks for internet of things, the size of routing table can be reduced with
the help of clustering structure. The dynamic nature of MANETs and its complexity make it a …

The stability of clusters is a serious issue in mobile ad hoc networks. Low stability of clusters
may lead to rapid failure of clusters, high energy consumption for reclustering, and decrease …
