In a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), temporary link failures and route changes happen frequently. With the assumption that all packet losses are due to congestion, TCP performs poorly in such environment. While there has been some research on improving ...

Network wide broadcasting in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks provides important control and route establishment functionality for a number of unicast and multicast protocols. Considering its wide use as a building block for other network layer protocols, the ...

Current algorithms for minimum-energy routing in wireless networks typically select minimum-cost multi-hop paths. In scenarios where the transmission power is fixed, each link has the same cost and the minimum-hop path is selected. In situations where ...

Ad hoc networks formed without the aid of any established infrastructure are typically multi-hop networks. Location dependent contention and "hidden terminal" problem make priority scheduling in multi-hop networks significantly different from that in ...

Due to hidden terminals and a dynamic topology, contention among stations in an ad-hoc network is not homogeneous. Some stations are at a disadvantage in opportunity of access to the shared channel and can suffer severe throughput degradation when the ...
