Clustering concept and QoS constraints in dense mobile ad hoc networks

Fabien Nimbona, Samuel Pierre, Alejandro Quintero

In mobile ad hoc networks, many routing protocols use broadcast mechanism to find route whereas one of the wireless network challenges is the bandwidth optimisation. This…

Energy‐efficient capacity‐constrained routing in wireless sensor networks

Maulin Patel, S. Venkateson, R. Chandrasekaran

A critical issue in the design of routing protocols for wireless sensor networks is the efficient utilization of resources such as scarce bandwidth and limited energy supply. Many…

Reactive clustering in MANETs

Curt Cramer, Oliver Stanze, Kilian Weniger, Martina Zitterbart

Many clustering protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been proposed in the literature. With only one exception so far (1), all these protocols are proactive, thus…

Prediction based location aided routing for mobile ad hoc networks

R. Chellappa Doss, A. Jennings, N. Shenoy

Routing in ad hoc networks faces significant challenges due to node mobility and dynamic network topology. In this work we propose the use of mobility prediction to reduce the…

A fault‐tolerant distributed formation protocol for Bluetooth scatternets

K. Persson, D. Manivannan

A Bluetooth scatternet is a network topology that is formed by inter‐connecting piconets. A piconet is a starshaped ad‐hoc networking unit that can accommodate eight Bluetooth…

Combining next fit of bin packing with deficit round robin for efficient slot scheduling in Bluetooth

Hye Hwan Ahn, Hee Yang Youn, Eung Je Lee, Chang Won Park

Bluetooth wireless technology is a low power, low cost and short‐range RF technology that permits communication between bluetooth enabled devices, and focuses on replacement of…

Distributed service platform for adaptive mobile services

Daniel Pakkala, Juhani Latvakoski

A novel distributed middleware service platform, called MidGate platform, is presented in this paper. The central contribution is description of the developed MidGate platform and…

Location‐aware middle agents in pervasive computing

Akio Sashima, Noriaki Izumi, Koichi Kurumatani

In the vision of pervasive computing, numerous heterogeneous devices, various information services, and users performing daily activities are physically co‐located in a…
