Abstract— In this paper, we propose a cross-layer partnerbased fast handoff mechanism based on HMIPv6, called as PHMIPv6 protocol. Our PHMIPv6 protocol is a cross-layer, layer-2 ...
The spreading of multicast technology enables the development of group communication and so dealing with digital streams becomes more and more common over the Internet. Given the f...
A Connected Dominating Set (CDS) working as a virtual backbone is an effective way to decrease the overhead of routing in a wireless sensor network. Furthermore, a kConnected m-Do...
This paper experimentally investigates the service availability of wireless multihop networks based on the following two metrics: average pairwise connectivity and pairwise connec...
To support reliable multicast routing in wireless mesh networks, it is important to protect multicast sessions against link or node failures. The issue of protecting multicast ses...
