Vehicular networking is an emerging technology that holds the great promise of supporting
innovative safety and nonsafety applications. Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) share …

Background: MANET is a self-organized wireless network with no infrastructure. Especially
data transfer from one system to another system needs to be done in a secure way. In order …

Replication is an important mechanism in modern wireless networks and has attracted
significant efforts to improve its performance with different metrics including read cost …

Existing data management protocols for socially-aware networks assume that users are
cooperative when participating in operations such as data forwarding. However, selfishness …

We consider a smart-city IoT scenario where large crowd may gather temporarily rendering
the existing infrastructure inadequate for service consumption. This necessitates a service …

We address cooperative caching in wireless networks, where the nodes may be mobile and
exchange information in a peer-to-peer fashion. We consider both cases of nodes with large …

Ad hoc networks are expected to have some critical connectivity properties before
partitioning. Timely partition prediction signals action for improving fault tolerance and …

Next-generation wireless technology supports notably high data rates and smart hand-held
devices together with data processing, which creates a great challenge for moving these …

Data replication, as an essential service for MANETs, is used to increase data availability by
creating local or nearly located copies of frequently used items, reduce communication …
