Combining mobile platforms such as manned or unmanned vehicles and peer-assisted
wireless communication is an enabler for a vast number of applications. A key enabler for …

In geographic routing, nodes need to maintain up-to-date positions of their immediate
neighbors for making effective forwarding decisions. Periodic broadcasting of beacon …

Geographic routing (GR) algorithms, require nodes to periodically transmit HELLO
messages to allow neighbors know their positions (beaconing mechanism). To reduce the …

In the past decades, the unmanned aerial systems have been utilized only for military
operations. However, recently, the potential uses and applicability of unmanned aerial …

In geographical routing, each node takes forwarding decisions as per position information of
neighboring nodes stored in neighbor table. Owing to the highly dynamic behavior of UAV …

Abstract Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have been suggested as an active and
powerful field of research to mitigate environmental problems and challenges. The main …

In intermittently connected ad hoc networks standard routing protocols like AODV, DSR and
GPSR fail since they generally cannot find a contemporaneous path from source to …

The beacon-less routing protocol (BLR) is a position-based routing protocol for mobile ad-
hoc networks that makes use of location information to reduce routing overhead. Unlike …

The need of monitoring people, animals, and things in general, brings to consider mobile
WSNs besides traditional, fixed ones. Moreover, several advanced scenarios, like those …

Beaconless position-based forwarding protocols have recently evolved as a promising
solution for packet forwarding in wireless sensor networks. However, as the node density …
