3.1 Scalability of Protocols The term scalability means that the number of users and/or the traffic volume can be increased with rea- sonably small performance degradation or even net- work outage and without changing the system compo- nents and[r]
In addition, AGEP can be used to improve overall network performance by reducing the number of network control packet broadcasts through encapsulation and aggregation of multiple A-GSM–related control packets (e.g., routing protocol packets, acknowledgments, link status sensing packets, “netw[r]
A local maximum host is one that finds no other hosts that are closer to D than itself. In the example in Fig.18.3 , host t is a local maximum because all its neighbors are farther from D than itself. Therefore, the greedy forwarding method will not work here. When this happens, the perim[r]
When a node forwards a RREQ packet to its neighbors, it records in its routing tables the address of the neighbor node where the first copy of the RREQ was received. This fact helps nodes to establish a reverse path, which will be used to carry the response to the RREQ. Returning to the previous ex[r]
In multiple access collision avoidance (MACA) [3], a node wishing to transmit a data packet to a neighbor first sends a request-to-send (RTS) frame to the neighbor. All nodes that receive the RTS are not allowed to transmit. Upon reception of the RTS, the neighbor that the RTS was sent to replies w[r]
Q. Liang’s paper studies target recognition in radar sen- sor networks. Inspired by human’s innate ability to process and integrate information from disparate and network- based sources, the paper proposes two human-inspired target detection algorithms for target-detection in ra[r]
5. Conclusion In this chapter the importance of CAC in wireless networks for providing QoS guarantees has been investigated. CAC algorithms are important for wireless networks not only for providing the expected QoS requirements to mobile users, b[r]
3.2.3. Scenario III—low mobility Low mobility was simulated to represent close to a best case scenario, where the nodes do not lose links very frequently. This case can be used to demonstrate an upper bound on en- ergy savings in an ad hoc wireless environment. Low mobil- ity[r]
Received 1 June 2006; Revised 29 October 2006; Accepted 30 October 2006 Recommended by Xiuzhen Cheng We consider the problem of maximizing the network lifetime in WANETs (wireless ad hoc networks) with limited energy re- sources using omnidirectional or directional ante[r]

Topology issues should receive more and more consideration in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). While the supplied underlying network topology typically optimizes WSN applications, another inclination is observed to optimize WSN employing topology control. In the current ten years, wireless sensor net[r]
Open network communication concerns itself with a physical group while a logic group layer is added for closed and managed networks. A managed network is then a multilevel group in which trust building plays an eminent role. Clearly specified security policies are essential for both ma[r]
and sequence numbers generated to indicate cm metrics are odd numbers. In this way, any “real” sequence numbers will supersede an m metric. When a node receives a co metric, and it has a later sequence number with a finite metric, it triggers a route update broadcast to disseminate[r]
DEALING WITH NODE MOBILITY 145 optimization goals such as building a topology that preserves worst-case connectivity is almost impossible. Furthermore, we should consider that even if the TC protocol is very smart and efficient and builds a topology that is connected at time t a relat[r]
3.3 Self-Organizing Slot Allocation (SRSA) The Self-Organising Slot Allocation or SRSA protocol (Wu & Biswas, 2005) was proposed to improve the LEACH MAC protocol in terms of energy efficiency and network scalability. The SRSA protocol is a TDMA-based MAC and has a similar netw[r]
Ad hoc networks have created a lot more additional challenges for imple- mentation of the required security services beyond those that wireless commu- nications encounter created when compared to wireline networks. The wireless broadcast media is more pron[r]
The Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol [13] is a typical example of the on-demand protocols, where each data packet carries in its header the complete ordered list of nodes the packet passes through. This is done by having each node maintain a route cache that learns and caches[r]
messages that say so. Whilst a host will simply choose one of these as its default gateway and send all packets to that one router, routers need to make an informed choice about where to send a packet. To make this choice, a router will consult its routing tables (Figure 3.15). Such tables,[r]
We have repeatedly noted that all the policies, protocols, and algorithms in an ad hoc network with QoS support must be QoS-preserving. How badly do the rapid topology changes militate against the QoS guarantees? Let τ c and T u denote the interval between two c[r]
