Improving Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network Stability Using Meta-Heuristic Algorithms

Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) is an important component of intelligent transportation systems, in which vehicles are equipped with on-board computing and communication devices which enable vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Consequently, with regard to larger communication due to the greater number of vehicles, stability of connectivity would be a challenging problem. Clustering technique as ...

Non-cooperative Forwarding in Ad-Hoc Networks

A wireless Ad-hoc network is expected to be made up of energy aware entities (nodes) interested in their own perceived performance. An important problem in such a scenario is to provide incentives for collaboration among the participating entities. Forwarding packets of other nodes is an example of such a collaboration. However, it may not be in interest of a node to always forward the requesti...

Ad-hoc Constructs for Non Functional Aspects

Aspect-oriented programming [1] (AOP) tries to provide linguistic mechanisms to factor out design concerns, which can be defined, understood, and evolved separately from the functional core of the application. A first approach to AOP can be the definition of a general-purpose AspectOriented Language (AOL) with full visibility of the internal details of its associated functional module. In our p...

A Fuzzy Realistic Mobility Model for Ad hoc Networks

Realistic mobility models can demonstrate more precise evaluation results because their parameters are closer to the reality. In this paper a realistic Fuzzy Mobility Model has been proposed. This model has rules which are changeable depending on nodes and environmental conditions. It seems that this model is more complete than other mobility models.After simulation, it was found out that not o...
