An ad hoc wireless network has no fixed networking infrastructure. It consists of multiple,
possibly mobile, nodes that maintain network connectivity through wireless communications …

Architecture description languages (ADLs) are emerging as viable tools for formally
representing the architectures of systems. While growing in number, they vary widely in …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) possess numerous and unique characteristics, such as
high channel error-rate, severe link-layer contentions, frequent link breakage (due to node …

Untethered nodes in mobile ad hoc networks strongly depend on the efficient use of their
batteries. In this paper, we propose a new metric, the drain rate, to forecast the lifetime of …

This paper presents two novel mechanisms for the OLSR routing protocol, aiming to improve
its energy performance in Mobile ah-hoc Networks. Routing protocols over MANET are an …

The next generation's sensor nodes will be more intelligent, energy conservative, and
perpetual lifetime in the set-up of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). These sensors nodes …

In this paper, a dynamic fuzzy energy state based AODV (DFES-AODV) routing protocol for
Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) is presented. In DFES-AODV route discovery phase …

Primitive routing protocols for ad-hoc networks are “power hungry” and can therefore
consume considerable amount of the limited amount of battery power resident in the nodes …

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are wireless networks consisting of a collection of
untethered nodes with no fixed infrastructure. An important design criterion for routing …

The mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a multi-hop, non-central network composed of
mobile terminals with self-organizing features. Aiming at the problem of extra energy …
