An analytical study of fundamental mobility properties for encounter-based protocols
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2008.019198 | Thrasyvoulos Spyropoulos, Apoorva Jindal, Konstantinos Psounis | Traditionally, mobility in ad hoc networks was considered as a necessary evil that hinders node communication. However, it has recently been recognised that mobility can be turned into a useful ally, by making nodes carry data between disco... | 4 - 40 |
Depth First Search-based and power-aware geo-routing in ad hoc and sensor wireless networks
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2008.019198 | Bosko Vukojevic, Nishith Goel, Kalai Kalaichevlan, Amiya Nayak, Ivan Stojmenovic | Depth First Search (DFS) and position-based routing algorithms were proposed in literature. These are localised algorithms that guarantee the delivery for connected ad hoc and sensor wireless networks modelled by arbitrary graphs, including... | 41 - 54 |
HELC: a High Efficiency and Low Cost structured Peer-to-Peer overlay without Distributed Hash Table
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2008.019198 | Deng Li, Zhigang Chen, Hui Liu, Athanasios P. Vasilakos | For such a highly distributed and heterogeneous environment as P2P system, information reflection and collection, lack of centralised control and non-cooperation are just some of the challenges. In order to build an ideal P2P system, there ... | 55 - 81 |
Voice over Internet Protocol over IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks and effective admission control with transmission interval adaptation
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2008.019198 | Zhuo Chen, Lingyun Wang, Xinbing Wang, Hsiao-Hwa Chen | Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) over Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) is an important application of WLANs and it has gained more and more attention recently. In this article, we analyse the maximum number of VoIP calls supportable ... | 82 - 105 |
Asynchronous cooperative transmission mechanism using distributed Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing for mobile ad hoc networks
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2008.019198 | Quan Yu, Tielian Fu, Jun Zheng, Baoxian Zhang | In this article, we propose an asynchronous cooperative transmission mechanism for Mobile ad hoc Networks (MANETs). The proposed cooperative transmission mechanism employs distributed Unitary Space-Frequency Coded-Orthogonal Frequency Divis... | 106 - 121 |
Autonomic behaviour of opportunistic network routing
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2008.019198 | Chiara Boldrini, Marco Conti, Andrea Passarella | In opportunistic networks, end-to-end communication among users does not require a continuous end-to-end path between source and destination. Network protocols are designed to be extremely resilient to events such as long partitions, node d... | 122 - 147 |
Dynamic Spectrum Access in heterogeneous unlicensed wireless networks
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2008.019198 | Jianhua He, Yan Zhang, Dritan Kaleshi, Alistair Munro, Joseph McGeehan | Existing wireless systems are normally regulated by a fixed spectrum assignment strategy. This policy leads to an undesirable situation that some systems may only use the allocated spectrum to a limited extent while others have very serious... | 148 - 163 |
