mobile-ad-hoc-networks (manets) are self-configuring networks of mobile nodes, which communicate through wireless links. the infrastructure of a mobile ad hoc network (manet) has no routers for routing, and all nodes must share the same routing protocol to assist each other when transmitting messages. the main issues in manets include the mobility of the network nodes, the scarcity of computati...

To support the mobility and low cost deployment, the wireless technology is being used for number of applications. Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is one of the evolving technology to provide un-disrupted data connectivity to mobile users. It provides high bandwidth through efficient resource sharing, specially for areas deprived of wired connectivity. These networks also offer self-configuring, s...

In this article, self-organising interference management for optical wireless networks deployed inside an aircraft cabin is investigated. A user that has received data in a given frame and intends to continue receiving data in the next frame broadcasts a busy burst (BB) in a time-multiplexed BB slot. The tagged access point (AP) intending to reuse a resource reserved in a neighbouring cell must...

Ubiquitous Internet access is becoming a major requirement for end-users due to the increasing number of services and applications supported over the Internet. Extending the coverage of current Wi-Fi infrastructures installed in companies, universities and cities, has been considered a solution to help in fulfilling this requirement, namely when it comes to wireless and nomadic Internet access....

A Detailed Exploration of usability statistics and Application Rating on short-range Wireless protocols Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15.1), ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4), Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) and NFC (ISO/IEC 14443) has been performed that being representing of those prominent wireless protocols evaluating their main characteristics and performances in terms of some metric such as co-existence, data rate, secur...

Wireless sensor networks have been widely used in many surveillance applications. Due to the importance of sensor nodes in such applications, certain level of protection need to be provided to them. In [1], Wang, Zhang and Liu first formally introduced the self protection problem in wireless sensor networks. A wireless sensor network is p-self-protected, if at any moment, for any wireless senso...

Many measurement studies showed that network traffic usually exhibits self-similar nature, meanwhile, wireless fading channels lead to the time-variant service rates of network nodes. Compared with classical queuing systems with Markov sources or constant service rates, the queuing system with self-similar input in a wireless fading channel is more complicated, and it is very difficult to obtai...

As for today Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) is emerging technology due to their rapid deployment. WMNs are dynamically self-organizing, self-configuring and self-healing with the nodes in the network automatically establishing an ad hoc network and maintaining the mesh connectivity. In order to Design a routing protocol for WMNs requires several criteria to be taken into consideration, such as w...

With large-scale wireless networks, the associated challenges of self-configuration of the network , self-healing in the case of any failure and self-maintenance assume significant importance. Without even one these features, the sensor network formed cannot be used any further. A possible solution to this problem is to use clustering of the nodes in the network. A geographical-radius based clu...

Dynamic environments, such as wireless mesh networks, require flexible and self-adaptive mechanisms to control topology and medium access. Conventional algorithms, developed for quite stable networks, either do not work properly in this new environment or perform poorly. This work intends to study and develop dynamic and self-adaptive strategies to control the topology and the medium access for...
