We study the efficiency of the gradient mechanism of message transfer in a $2-d$ communication network of regular nodes and randomly distributed hubs. Each hub on the network is assigned some randomly chosen capacity and hubs with lower…
Random walks constitute a fundamental mechanism for a large set of dynamics taking place on networks. In this article, we study random walks on weighted networks with an arbitrary degree distribution, where the weight of an edge between two…
An ad hoc network is an infrastructureless network in which nodes perform terminal as well as routing functions. A routing protocol is the only substitute to complete the communications in the absence of an access point. In spite of that…

In both natural and engineered systems, communication often occurs dynamically over networks ranging from highly structured grids to largely disordered graphs. To use, or comprehend the use of, networks as efficient communication media…
Ad hoc networks are the special networks formed for specific applications. Operating in ad-hoc mode allows all wireless devices within range of each other to discover and communicate in a peer-to-peer fashion without involving central…
In ad hoc wireless networking, units are connected to each other rather than to a central, fixed, infrastructure. Constructing and maintaining such networks create several trade-off problems between robustness, communication speed, power…

Mobile AdHoc NETworks (MANETs) have been identified as a key emerging technology for scenarios in which IEEE 802.11 or cellular communications are either infeasible, inefficient, or cost-ineffective. Smartphones are the most adequate…
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a non-centralised, multihop, wireless network that lacks a common infrastructure and hence it needs self-organisation. The biggest challenge in MANETs is to find a path between communicating nodes, which…
