The explosive growth in wireless networks over the last few years resembles the rapid growth of the Internet within the last decade. During the beginning of the commercialization of the Internet, organizations and individuals connected without concern for the security of their system or network. Over time, it became apparent that some form of security was required to prevent outsiders from expl...

The type of the applications for which Internet is being used has changed over the years. Multimedia applications, Real-time applications and Game playing require Quality of service. IEEE has proposed IEEE 802.11e, a quality of service extension to the wireless LAN standard IEEE 802.11. In this paper service differentiation ability of 802.11e is evaluated. Identical traffic is considered for al...

the establishment as well as the survival of mobile ad-hoc networks relies on the cooperation of nodes for performing network operations such as routing and packet forwarding. in these networks, misbehaving nodes can severely degrade network’s performance by not cooperating in networking operations. in this paper, we study the issue of node misbehavior in packet forwarding. to counter this type...

In the IEEE 802.15.3-based HR-WPAN(High Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks), the selection of PNC is based on the capability of each DEV in the piconet. The selected DEV playing the role of a PNC will consume the most amount of energy among the DEVs in the piconet. Since the energy consumption of the PNC is closely related to its frame transmission range in the piconet, it is important to con...
