Directional antennas and beamforming can significantly improve point-to-point wireless links when perfectly aligned. In this letter we investigate the extreme opposite where antenna orientations and positions are chosen at random in the…
Routing is a challenging problem for wireless ad hoc networks, especially when the nodes are mobile and spread so widely that in most cases multiple hops are needed to route a message from one node to another. In fact, it is known that any…
Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of two or more devices or nodes or terminals with wireless communications and networking capability that communicate with each other without the aid of any centralized administrator also the…
A weakness of next-hop routing is that following a link or router failure there may be no routes between some source-destination pairs, or packets may get stuck in a routing loop as the protocol operates to establish new routes. In this…
In this paper, we study a model of network adaptation mechanism to control spreading processes over switching contact networks, called adaptive susceptible-infected-susceptible model. The edges in the network model are randomly removed or…
A key functionality of emerging connected autonomous systems such as smart transportation systems, smart cities, and the industrial Internet-of-Things, is the ability to process and learn from data collected at different physical locations.…
A Mobile ad hoc Network or MANET is a wireless network of mobile devices that has the ability to self-configure and self-organise and is characterised by an absence of centralised administration and network infrastructure. An appreciable…
This work examines adaptive distributed learning strategies designed to operate under communication constraints. We consider a network of agents that must solve an online optimization problem from continual observation of streaming data.…
In this Letter, we proposed a mixing navigation mechanism, which interpolates between random-walk and shortest-path protocol. The navigation efficiency can be remarkably enhanced via a few routers. Some advanced strategies are also…
Destination IP prefix-based routing protocols are core to Internet routing today. Internet autonomous systems (AS) possess fixed IP prefixes, while packets carry the intended destination AS's prefix in their headers, in clear text. As a…
In this letter we focus on designing self-organizing diffusion mobile adaptive networks where the individual agents are allowed to move in pursuit of an objective (target). The well-known Adapt-then-Combine (ATC) algorithm is already…
Numerous protocols for geocast have been proposed in literature. It has been shown that explicit route setup approaches perform poorly with VANETs due to limited route lifetime and frequent network fragmentation. The broadcast based…
This paper surveys how formal verification can be used to prove the correctness of ad hoc routing protocols, which are fundamental infrastructure of wireless sensor networks. The existing techniques fall into two classes: verification on…
The identification of the exact path that packets are routed in the network is quite a challenge. This paper presents a novel, efficient traceback strategy in combination with a defence system against distributed denial of service (DDoS)…
The aim of this paper is to analyze the dynamic evolution of a VPN, modeled as a system, controled by a manager who should take appropriate decisions. To take the best possible decisions, the operator should be able to worst behavior, in…
Geographic routing protocols greatly reduce the requirements of topology storage and provide flexibility in the accommodation of the dynamic behavior of mobile ad hoc networks. This paper presents performance evaluations and comparisons of…
We propose a new platform for implementing secure wireless ad hoc networks. Our proposal is based on a modular architecture, with the software stack constructed directly on the Ethernet layer. Within our platform we use a new security…
We study benefits of opportunistic routing in a large wireless ad hoc network by examining how the power, delay, and total throughput scale as the number of source- destination pairs increases up to the operating maximum. Our opportunistic…
In this work we develop a new theory to analyse the process of routing in large-scale ad-hoc wireless networks. We use a path integral formulation to examine the properties of the paths generated by different routing strategies in these…
