Abstract-- The efficiency of a communication network depends not only on its control protocols, but also on the underlying network topology. We propose a distributed topology manag...
This paper presents a new algorithm, Extra, for extending the lifetime of ad hoc networks. Extra tries to conserve energy by identifying and switching off nodes that are momentaril...

Power assignment for wireless ad hoc networks is to assign a power for each wireless node such that the induced communication graph has some required properties. Recently research ...
— We present an approach that takes advantage of multi-packet reception (MPR) to reduce the negative effects of multiple access interference and therefore increase the capacity o...
Random beamforming, where each node selects a main beam direction without any coordination with other nodes, has been proposed as a simple technique to improve connectivity in wire...
