Profiling distributed connection chains
DOI: 10.1504/IJCNDS.2008.017201 | Ahmad Almulhem, Issa Traore | A key challenge in network forensics arises because of |attackers| ability to move around in the network, which results in creating a chain of connections; commonly known as connection chains. They are widely used by attackers to stay anon... | 4 - 18 |
Effect of background scan on performance of neighbouring channels in 802.11 networks
DOI: 10.1504/IJCNDS.2008.017201 | Gurpal Singh, Ajay Pal Singh Atwal, B.S. Sohi | Background scanning is being employed by IEEE 802.11 mobile nodes for discovering neighbouring access points and their channels without breaking connectivity with the current access point. Information gathered thus, is fed to handoff algori... | 19 - 32 |
Optimal channel allocation algorithm with efficient channel reservation for cellular networks
DOI: 10.1504/IJCNDS.2008.017201 | P. Venkata Krishna, N.Ch.S.N. Iyengar | Today, there is a rapid growth of mobile users. As the available frequency spectrum is limited, it must be efficiently utilised. This paper proposes a dynamic channel allocation scheme with efficient channel reservation for handoff calls. T... | 33 - 51 |
Sequencing technique: an enhancement to 802.11 medium access control to improve the performance of wireless networks
DOI: 10.1504/IJCNDS.2008.017201 | P. Venkata Krishna, N.Ch.S.N. Iyengar | This paper presents a technique known as sequencing on MAC layer for wireless networks. MAC layer issues are very important while accessing channel over wireless networks. Normally, communication uses Request To Send/Clear To Send (RTS/CTS)... | 52 - 70 |
A scalable quorum-based location service in ad hoc and sensor networks
DOI: 10.1504/IJCNDS.2008.017201 | Ivan Stojmenovic, Dandan Liu, Xiaohua Jia | Location service provides position of mobile destination to source node so that position-based routing can be applied. Previous location service protocols suffer from partial flooding overhead, and/or location failure in group movement scen... | 71 - 94 |
A supporting service differentiation multichannel MAC protocol for wireless ad hoc networks
DOI: 10.1504/IJCNDS.2008.017201 | Cao Zhiyan, Ji Zhenzhou, Hu Mingzeng | Providing service differentiation by using distributed control at the MAC layer is an effective mechanism for supporting Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless ad hoc networks. However, existing QoS-capable MAC protocols have been designed in... | 95 - 109 |
An application of the context transfer protocol: IPsec in a IPv6 mobility environment
DOI: 10.1504/IJCNDS.2008.017201 | Fabien Allard, Jean-Marie Bonnin | The use of the internet must be able to be in confidence for users but security provisioning has a cost for Internet Service Providers (ISPs). In a mobility context, this security must be set up from scratch after each handover and for each... | 110 - 126 |
