Self-Organized Connectivity Control and Optimization Subjected to Dispersion of Mobile Ad Hoc Sensor Networks

Serema: self-organized routing in heterogeneous mobile ad hoc networks

Self-organized Anonymous Authentication in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Pervasive communications bring along new privacy challenges, fueled by the capability of mobile devices to communicate with, and thus “sniff on”, each other directly. We design a new mechanism that aims at achieving location privacy in these forthcoming mobile networks, whereby mobile nodes collect the pseudonyms of the nodes they encounter to generate their own privacy cloaks. Thus, privacy em...

Terminodes: Toward Self-organized Mobile Ad Hoc Wide Area Networks

This document presents a research agenda in the area of communication systems. It is meant to be the proposal of the Communication Systems Division of EPFL and its Consortium to the National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) of the Swiss National Fund. This proposal is also called MICS (Mobile Information and Communication Systems). The expected (and desirable) characteristics of the prop...

Self organized routing in wide area mobile ad-hoc networks

This paper considers the problem of routing in a wide area mobile ad-hoc network called Terminode Network. Our routing scheme is a combination of two protocols called Terminode Local Routing (TLR) and Terminode Remote Routing (TRR). TRR is activated when the destination is remote and uses location of the destination obtained either via location management or by location tracking. TLR acts when ...

Self-Organized Public-Key Management for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

In contrast with conventional networks, mobile ad hoc networks usually do not provide online access to trusted authorities or to centralized servers, and they exhibit frequent partitioning due to link and node failures and to node mobility. For these reasons, traditional security solutions that require online trusted authorities or certificate repositories are not well-suited for securing ad ho...
