Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are pervasive, self-configuring, infrastructure-free, and ubiquitous devoid of any centralized authority. Mobile ad hoc networks have proved their efficiency in the deployment for different fields, but they are highly vulnerable to security attacks which is particularly challenging in wireless networks. The existing research that has been carried out provides auth...

Most peer-to-peer file storage sharing systems work on wired networks. Due to the multi-hop wireless communication nature in ad-hoc networks, the development of mobile ad-hoc network file storage sharing system faces many challenges. In this paper, a hypothetical partitionable mobile file system (PMFS) is proposed. This new PMFS is a distributed file storing/sharing system built on partitionabl...

This paper discusses the role of ad hoc networking in future wireless communications. Ad hoc networks are'classified as isolated ad hoc networks with large and small sizes, integrated ad hoc networks in various scenarios and cellular ad hoc networks for the future mobile access networks. The very low traffic performance of large scale ad hoc networks is shown by simulation results, indicating s...

Caching of frequently accessed data in ad hoc networks is a potential technique that can improve the data access, performance and availability. A cooperative cache-based data access framework lets mobile node cache the data or the path to the data to reduce query delays and improve data accessibility. Due to mobility and resource constraints of ad hoc networks, cooperative caching techniques de...

With the encouragement from success of P2P systems in real world application, recently we have seen active research on synergy of P2P systems and mobile ad hoc networks. The paper proposes a solution for mobility disturbance problem in initialization of ring-based P2P systems over ad hoc networks. It is a decentralized ring construction protocol in presence of mobility. A Mobile Ring Ad-hoc Net...
