The characteristics of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) determine that the authentication approaches to protect routing and data packet transmission in MANETs should be lightweight...
Abstract. The RTS/CTS access scheme, designed to reduce the number of collisions in a IEEE 802.11 network, is known to exhibit problems due to masked nodes, the imbalance between t...

Abstract. The IEEE 802.11 MAC layer is known for its unfairness behavior in ad hoc networks. Introducing fairness in the 802.11 MAC protocol may lead to a global throughput decreas...
Resource management for ad hoc grids is challenging due to the participation of heterogeneous, dynamic, autonomous and ephemeral nodes. Different underlying network infrastructure...
In this work, we analyze the effects of a distributed transmission coordination scheme that is particularly suited for ad hoc networks with the ability to exploit spatially–mult...
