We investigate the use of network coding for information dissemination over a wireless network. Using network coding allows for a simple, distributed and robust algorithm where nodes do not need any information from their neighbors. In this…
Understanding how users navigate in a network is of high interest in many applications. We consider a setting where only aggregate node-level traffic is observed and tackle the task of learning edge transition probabilities. We cast it as a…
In situations where establishing a network infrastructure is impossible, Ad-hoc networks are considered particularly important. Most of the previous research in Ad-hoc networks concentrated on the development and enhancement of dynamic…
Motivated by the growing number of mobile devices capable of connecting and exchanging messages, we propose a methodology aiming to model and analyze node mobility in networks. We note that many existing solutions in the literature rely on…
A dynamic autonomy allocation framework automatically shifts how much control lies with the human versus the robotics autonomy, for example based on factors such as environmental safety or user preference. To investigate the question of…
Mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) is a growing technology that can support the operation of adaptive wireless networks. With the increased demand rate of wireless applications it is useful to have more adaptive and self organizing…
Secured communication in ad hoc wireless networks is primarily important, because the communication signals are openly available as they propagate through air and are more susceptible to attacks ranging from passive eavesdropping to active…
Device-to-device (D2D) communication enables us to spread information in the local area without infrastructure support. In this paper, we focus on information spreading in mobile wireless networks where all nodes move around. The source…
The study of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) requires efficient and accurate simulation tools. As the mobility of vehicles and driver behavior can be affected by network messages, these tools must include a vehicle mobility model…
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are formed by a collection of mobile nodes (MNs) that are capable of moving from one location to another location. These networks are widely identified by their unique characteristics such as lack of…
We present a study of information flow that takes into account the observation that an item relevant to one person is more likely to be of interest to individuals in the same social circle than those outside of it. This is due to the fact…
In this paper, a cooperative transmission design for a general multi-node half-duplex wireless relay network is presented. It is assumed that the nodes operate in half-duplex mode and that channel information is available at the nodes. The…
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…
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 this paper, we develop a trust based security protocol based on a cross layer approach which attains confidentiality and authentication of packets in both routing and link layers of MANETs. In the first phase of the protocol, we design a…
Robots that work close to humans need to understand and use social cues to act in a socially acceptable manner. Social cues are a form of communication (i.e., information flow) between people. In this paper, a framework is introduced to…
Numerous networks, such as transportation, distribution and delivery networks optimize their designs in order to increase efficiency and lower costs, improving the stability of its intended functions, etc. Networks that distribute goods,…
Nowadays, multimedia and real-time applications consume much network resources and so, need high flow rates and very small transfer delay. The current ad hoc networks (MANETs), in their original state, are not able to satisfy the…
Fast data synchronization in wireless ad hoc networks is a challenging and critical problem. It is fundamental for efficient information fusion, control and decision in distributed systems. Previously, distributed data synchronization was…
Reliable propagation of information through large networks, e.g., communication networks, social networks or sensor networks is very important in many applications concerning marketing, social networks, and wireless sensor networks.…
