A distributed transmission power control protocol for mobile ad hoc networks
In this paper, we propose a comprehensive solution for power control in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Our solution emphasizes the interplay between the MAC and network layers, whereby the MAC layer indirectly influences the selection of the next-hop ...
Bandwidth estimation schemes for TCP over wireless networks
The use of enhanced bandwidth estimation procedures within the congestion control scheme of TCP was proposed recently as a way of improving TCP performance over links affected by random loss. This paper first analyzes the problems faced by every ...
Energy efficient broadcast routing in static ad hoc wireless networks
In this paper, we discuss energy efficient broadcast in ad hoc wireless networks. The problem of our concern is: given an ad hoc wireless network, find a broadcast tree such that the energy cost of the broadcast tree is minimized. Each node in the ...
Parameter estimation and error reduction for OFDM-based WLANs
We consider parameter estimation and error reduction for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) based high-speed wireless local area networks (WLANs). We devise or select algorithms that can provide benefit to the overall system performance ...
Pilot: probabilistic lightweight group communication system for ad hoc networks
Providing reliable group communication is an ever recurring topic in distributed settings. In mobile ad hoc networks, this problem is even more significant since all nodes act as peers, while it becomes more challenging due to highly dynamic and ...
Recovery in the mobile wireless environment using mobile agents
Application recovery in mobile database systems (MDS) is more complex because of an unlimited geographical mobility of mobile units. The mobility of these units makes it tricky to an store application log and access it for recovery. This paper presents ...
Relying on safe distance to achieve strong partitionable group membership in ad hoc networks
The design of ad hoc mobile applications often requires the availability of a consistent view of the application state among the participating hosts. Such views are important because they simplify both the programming and verification tasks. We argue ...
