Abstract—Directional antennas are expected to provide significant improvements over omni-directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks. Directional MAC protocols, however, int...
— During the last few years there has been a rapid development in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). To make the operations of a MANET more efficient, one approach is to construct...
In IEEE 802.11 based ad hoc networks, by simply manipulating the back-off timers and/or wait times prior to transmission, malicious nodes can cause a drastically reduced allocatio...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) raise new challenges in designing protocols for solving the consensus problem. Among the others, how to design message efficient protocols so as to...
A good amount of research has been developed to support QoS issues in IEEE 802.11 ad hoc networks, such as QoS routing, MAC layer QoS support, and cross-layer QoS design. However,...
