The last decade has witnessed a tremendous increase in both the number of mobile devices
and also the consumer demand for mobile data communication. As a consequence …

To correctly examine ad hoc network protocol performance, node mobility must be
accurately modeled. Many ad hoc networking studies model node mobility using the random …

The performance of mobile ad hoc networks can be influenced by numerous factors,
including protocol design at every layer; parameter settings such as retransmission limits …

This paper presents an analytical model for analyzing the performance of the TDMA-based
distributed reservation protocol for wireless multi-hop ad hoc networks. A novel three-way …

Incorporating relays is a first step in the evolution of wide area wireless information networks
R. Wang, et. al.,(2002) from the extreme of the cellular paradigm to the opposite extreme of …

Wireless ad hoc networks are formed by devices that are able to communicate with each
other using a wireless physical medium without having to resort to a pre-existing network …

There is considerable interest in modeling the performance of ad hoc networks analytically.
This paper presents approximate analytical models for the throughput performance of single …

Abstract Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) by definition operate without pre-established
infrastructure. On the one hand side, this can be seen as an advantage since it makes them …

In this paper we present a mobility model for ad hoc networks operating in mission critical
situations, like for example natural or man-made disasters, military activities or emergency …

Characterizing the performance of ad hoc networks is one of the most intricate open
challenges; conventional ideas based on information-theoretic techniques and inequalities …
