The TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) is used as a streaming media transport protocol. Using the TCP congestion response function and current network conditions, TFRC adjusts its transmission rate to yield the maximum TCP-Friendly throughput when sharing capacity with TCP flows. Since TFRC was designed for wired networks, it does not achieve the maximum TCP-Friendly throughput in multihop ad hoc...

Future wireless ad hoc networks will use mobile routers to provide Internet connectivity to mobile ad hoc users. A mobile router also allows mobility of an entire ad hoc network, e.g. in plains, trains, cars, and other vehicles, where mobile users may use an Internet access within an ad hoc network domain. Mobile Internet access is also required for various mobile networks such as Personal Area...

In order to achieve high end-to-end throughput in a multihop wireless ad hoc network, TD/CDMA has been chosen as the Medium Access Control (MAC) scheme due to its support for high network throughput in a multihop environment. The associated power control and scheduling problem needs to be addressed to optimize the operations of TD/CDMA. In this paper, cluster-based architecture is introduced to...

Wireless multihop ad hoc communication networks represent an infrastructureless and self-organised generalisation of todays wireless cellular networks. Lacking a central control authority, the ad hoc devices (nodes) have to organise data traffic and information flow by use of distributive, local control actions such that the overall, global system performs in an optimal way. One important issue...

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) are popular wireless communication techniques with the development of integrated combo chips, it is common these days that a single mobile/edge/IoT device supports both BLE. Given two have clearly different pros cons (e.g., high throughput vs. low power consumption), can experience significant performance improvement if link layers utilized adaptively accord...

Ad hoc networks are characterized by multihop wireless connectivity, frequently changing network topology and the need for efficient dynamic routing protocols. We compare the performance of three routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks: Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV), location-aided routing (LAR1).Our evaluation is based on energy consumption ...

Recently, multihop cellular networks (MCNs) were proposed to preserve the advantages of traditional single-hop cellular networks with multihop ad hoc relaying networks, while minimizing the drawbacks that they involved. In this way, MCNs enhance the performance of both the existing cellular networks and ad hoc networks. Consequently, MCN-type system is considered as a promising candidate of fou...

Large homogeneous ad hoc wireless networks have a problem: the bandwidth available to an mobile user decreases as the number of nodes in the network increases. Using the embedded ad-hoc networking mechanism, nodes are able to transport packets across the network in a multihop fashion. An embedded mobile backbone is dynamically constructed to form 2-level physical heterogeneous multihop wireless...
