A Distributed Clustering Algorithm DCA and a Distributed Mobility-Adaptive Clustering DMAC algorithm are presented that partition the nodes of a fully mobile network ad hoc networ...
Queueing networks are studied with finite capacities for clusters of stations, rather than for individual stations. First, an instructive tandem cluster example is studied to show...
In mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), nodes usually belong to different authorities and pursue different goals. In order to maximize their own performance, nodes in such networks ten...
— Recent studies have shown that designing a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol combined with a cooperative approach may improve the attainable network throughput, despite redu...
Rational and selfish nodes in P2P systems usually lack effective incentives to cooperate, contributing to the increase of free-riders, and degrading the system performance. Variou...
