Routing is one of the challenging issues in Mobile Ad hoc NETw orks (MANETs). Broadcasting is the fundamental and eff icient data dissemination mechanism for route discovery in reactive routing protocols of Mobile Ad hoc NETw ork (MANET). This causes the problem called the broadcast storm problem w hich results in redundant retransmission and adds to routing overhead. There are many approaches ...

We give a formal specification of a new model called Network Membership for reliable mobile communication in asynchronous distributed systems. Our approach is new in the sense that the Network membership service does not have any join or leave procedures. We let the system flow, views are not forced and are installed with stability. The model is less restricitve than others since no consensus i...

The development of wireless communication technologies has changed our living style in global level. After the international success of mobile telephony standards, the location and time independent voice connection has become a default method in daily telecommunications. As for today, highly advanced multimedia messaging plays a key role in value added service handling. Along with evolving data...

In this paper, we employ the approach of linear programming to propose a new interactive broadcast method. In our method, a film S is divided into n equal parts and broadcast via k channels. The user simultaneously downloads these segments from k channels into the user’s set-top-box (STB) and plays them in order. Our method assumes that the initial p segments will not have fast-forwarding capab...

In this paper, we explore the information dissemination problem in ad-hoc wireless networks. First, we analyze the probability of successful broadcast, assuming: the nodes are uniformly distributed, the available area has a lower bound relative to the total number of nodes, and there is zero knowledge of the overall topology of the network. By showing that the probability of successful broadcas...
