Much work has been done in the past in cellular-like (single-hop) wireless access networks on efficient wireless bandwidth allocation. Specifically, most of the earlier research focused on the problem of optimizing frequency reuse. Some examples of today’s existing public data <[r]
Abstract T he latest developments and experimentation in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) show that MANETs will be an alternative candidate in many private and public multimedia networks. Current interest in MANET systems has grown considerably because they[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]
The GeoGRID [Liao et al., 2000] protocol is also for geocast. It is modified from the GRID protocol. As mentioned earlier, the GRID protocol divides the network area into several nonoverlapping squares called grids. Geocasting messages are sent in a grid-by-grid manner through grid leaders. However,[r]

In this paper, we will provide a survey of the various approaches to deal with power control management in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks. We will classify these approaches into five main approaches: (a) Node-Degree Constrained Approach, (b) Location Information Based Approach, (c) Graph Theory App[r]
3.1 Introduction 34 As mentioned earlier, the challenge of designing IPS lies in balancing the trans- mission reliability and the overhearing probability. Due to the presence of noise, the receivers need to decide whether to stay awake based on a distorted receiving energy. If we choose t[r]
Nahrstedt et al. [27] presented a survey on cross-layer ar- chitectures for bandwidth management in wireless networks. Shah et al. [21] proposed a bandwidth management sys- tem for single-hop ad hoc wireless networks. The single-hop ad hoc w[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]
2.3.3 MAC Protocols Using Directional Antennas MAC protocols for ad hoc networks typically assume the use of omnidirectional antennas, which transmit radio signals to and receive them from all directions. These MAC protocols require all other node[r]
3.2.1. Scenario I—high mobility The mobility parameters in config.in Glomosim file were changed to simulate high-mobility scenarios. The mobility model used was a random waypoint mobility model, the maximum node speed was set to 10 m/s, and minimum node speed was zero with a zero pause time[r]

Chapter 8: QoS Issues in ad hoc networks QoS support is critical in ad hoc networks since such networks either operate as “opportunistic” extensions of the internet and thus carry Internet multimedia traffic (VoIP, videocast, videoconfere[r]
