Routing protocols are the main issue of ad hoc networks. Because flat propositions (reactive,
proactive) are not sufficient and suffer from a lack of performance, new solutions should he …

Since the physical topology of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is generally unstable, an
appealing approach is the construction of a stable and robust virtual topology or backbone …

A novel routing protocol for wireless, mobile ad hoc networks is presented. This protocol
incorporates features that enhance routing reliability, defined as the ability to provide almost …

Hierarchical, cluster-based routing greatly reduces routing table sizes compared to host-
based routing and the amount of routing related signalling traffic, while reducing path …

We present a two-level hierarchical routing architecture for ad hoc networks. Within each
lower level cluster, we describe a self-organizing, dynamic spine structure to (a) propagate …

Recently, in wired networks, a hierarchical structure has been introduced to improve
management and routing. In ad hoc networks, we introduce a hierarchical structure to …

Recently, in wired networks, a hierarchical structure has been introduced to improve
management and routing. In ad hoc networks, we introduce a hierarchical structure to …

Routing is one of the fundamental but challenging issues in mobile ad hoc networks. During
the past several years, a large number of routing protocols have been proposed, which can …

In this article, we compare two self-organization and hierarchical routing protocols for ad hoc
networks. These two protocols apply the reverse approach from the classical one, since they …

The problem of routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks is non-trivial because of the dynamic
nature of the network topology. In addition to computing shortest paths, as in wire-line …
