In this paper, a DHT-based routing protocol which integrates at the network layer both traditional direct routing, i.e. MANET routing, and indirect key-based routing, i.e. P2P rout...
Abstract— This work is concerned with definining a performance index that can be used as an objective measure in the evaluation and comparison of ad hoc networking protocols. Sp...
—Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) usually contain sparse or even empty regions called holes. The local optimum problem will occur when routing packets meet holes in the network. I...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
A connected dominating set (CDS) for a graph G(V, E) is a subset V of V , such that each node in V - V is adjacent to some node in V , and V induces a connected subgraph. A CDS ha...
