Two mobile agents, starting from different nodes of a network modeled as a graph, and woken up at possibly different times, have to meet at the same node. This problem is known as rendezvous. We consider deterministic distributed rendezvous…
Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes. It dynamically forms a temporary network without using any pre existing network infrastructure or centralized administration i.e. with minimal prior planning. All nodes…
In a multi-hop mobile ad hoc network (MANET), mobile nodes cooperate to form a network without using any infrastructure such as access points or base stations. The mobility of the nodes and the fundamentally limited capacity of the wireless…
In this paper we examine mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) composed by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Due to the high-mobility of the nodes, these networks are very dynamic and the existing routing protocols partly fail to provide a reliable…
Estimating city evacuation time is a non-trivial problem due to the interaction between thousands of individual agents, giving rise to various collective phenomena, such as bottleneck formation, intermittent flow and stop-and-go waves. We…
Traditional topology-based MANET routing protocols use stateful routing which increases the processing,communication and memory overheads. The high mobility of nodes in MANETs makes it difficult to maintain a deterministic route. To…
Standard congestion control cannot detect link failure losses which occur due to mobility and power scarcity in multi-hop Ad-Hoc network (MANET). Moreover, successive executions of Back-off algorithm deficiently grow Retransmission Timeout…
The present paper features results on global survival and extinction of an infection in a multi-layer network of mobile agents. Expanding on a model first presented in [CHJW22], we consider an urban environment, represented by line-segments…
This papers studies multi-agent (convex and \emph{nonconvex}) optimization over static digraphs. We propose a general distributed \emph{asynchronous} algorithmic framework whereby i) agents can update their local variables as well as…
We investigate the scheduling of a common resource between several concurrent users when the feasible transmission rate of each user varies randomly over time. Time is slotted and users arrive and depart upon service completion. This may…
We consider content distribution in vehicular ad hoc networks. We assume that a file is encoded using fountain code, and the encoded message is cached at infostations. Vehicles are allowed to download data packets from infostations, which…
The advent of ubiquitous computing and the proliferation of portable computing devices have raised the importance of mobile ad-hoc network. A major challenge lies in adapting multicast communication into such environments where mobility and…
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of autonomous nodes that communicate with each other by forming a multi-hop radio network and maintaining connections in a decentralized manner. Security remains a major challenge for these…
A Mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) consists of nodes which use multi-hop communication to establish connection between nodes. Traditional infrastructure based systems use a centralized architecture for address allocation. However, this is not…
Connectivity analysis is a crucial metric for network performance in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). Although VANET connectivity has been intensively studied and investigated under no-fading channel models for their simplicity, these…
We present a model for diffusion in a molecularly crowded environment. The model consists of random barriers in percolation network. Random walks in the presence of slowly moving barriers show normal diffusion for long times, but anomalous…
We introduce a simple network model that is inspired by social information networks such as twitter. Agents are nodes, connecting to another agent by building a directed edge has a cost, and reaching other agents via short directed paths…
