TCP Performance In Wireless Mobile Multi-Hop Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers There are many issues that limit the performance of wireless mobile Multi-hop Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). One of them is that TCP is not well adapted to networks where routes can change or disappear often.

A Distributed Size-Bounded Multi-Hop Clustering For Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers This paper proposes a weight-based distributed Size-bounded Multi-hop Clustering (SMC) approach for MANETs. The multi-hop nature and the employment of GroupJoin of SMC reduce the number of changes in case of mobility.

Congestion Controlled Adaptive Lightweight Multicast In Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers The use of contention-based MAC protocols combined with hidden terminal problems make multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks much more sensitive to load and congestion than wired networks or even wireless cellular networks.

Real-Time Multiplayer Game Support Using QoS Mechanisms In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers This paper analyzes and evaluates, via simulations, common QoS extensions, like backup route or priority queuing, and proposes some new ones, such as real-time neighbor aware rate control policies or hop-constrained queuing timeouts, to ad hoc...

Modelling Incentives For Collaboration In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers The model incorporates incentives for users to act as transit nodes on multi-hop paths and to be rewarded with their own ability to send traffic. This paper explores a model for the operation of an ad hoc mobile network.

ASAP: An Adaptive QoS Protocol For Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers However, to support QoS in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) is more challenging than in fixed and last-hop wireless access networks. With the increasing widespread use of wireless technologies, the need arises for QoS provisioning mechanisms for...

Extension Of Basic Service Set By Multihop Routing In IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Standard
White Papers Multihop extension preserves the traditional single-hop networks where the service infrastructure is constructed by many access points but it also adds the flexibility of ad hoc networks where wireless transfer through mobile stations is allowed...

Transparent Heterogeneous Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers An example are Bluetooth multi-hop networks (so called Scatternets). Most research on mobile ad hoc networks assumes a medium access (MAC) protocol similar to 802.11. This paper proposes an end-to-end communication abstraction that can be used in...

A Location-Aided Power-Aware Routing Protocol In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers In multi-hop wireless ad-hoc networks, designing energy-efficient routing protocols is critical since nodes are power-constrained. However, it is also an inherently hard problem due to two important factors: First, the nodes may be mobile...

WIANI: Wireless Infrastructure And Ad-Hoc Network Integration
White Papers If ad hoc mode is adopted in both the AP and mobile nodes, the one hop connections from AP can be extended to multiple hops. Such architecture, termed WIANI (Wireless Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc Network Integration) in this paper, is able to extend...

Architecture And Prototyping Of An 802.11-Based Self-Organizing Hierarchical Ad-Hoc Wireless Network (SOHAN)
White Papers The proposed network has a three-tier hierarchy consisting of low-power mobile nodes (MNs) at the lowest layer, forwarding nodes (FNs) with higher power and multi-hop routing capability at the middle layer, and wired access points (APs) without...

A TDMA-Based Bandwidth Reservation Protocol For QoS Routing In A Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Network
White Papers Existing solutions have addressed this problem by assuming a stronger multi-antenna model, where the bandwidth of a link is independent of the transmitting/receiving activities of its neighboring links, or a less stronger CDMA-over TDMA channel...

Performance Evaluation Of Multiple-Rate Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers In addition, the paper investigates the impact of the link distance, namely the geographic distance for a hop, on the end-to-end network throughput. This paper presents a simulation study on the performance of multiple-rate mobile ad hoc networks...

Empirical Upper Bound On TCP Transmission Rate For Guaranteed Capture-Free Communications In Multi-Hop IEEE 802.11 Based Wireless Networks
White Papers This paper considers the well known problem of TCP capture in mobile ad hoc networks, which is an unfair distribution of network bandwidth between TCP flows. The conventional way of analysis of TCP performance in wireless networks is to consider...
