We use a constrained optimization framework to derive fundamental scaling laws for both unstructured sensor networks (which use blind sequential search for querying) and structure...
This paper addresses the problem of optimizing the packet transmission schedule in an ad hoc network with end-toend delay constraints. The emphasis is to determine the proper rela...
Traditionally, ad hoc networks have been viewed as a connected graph over which end-to-end routing paths had to be established. Mobility was considered a necessary evil that inval...
On demand routing protocols provide scalable and costeffective solutions for packet routing in mobile wireless ad hoc networks. The paths generated by these protocols may deviate ...
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
