Decomposing Broadcast Algorithms Using Abstract MAC Layers
(2011-02-23)In much of the theoretical literature on global broadcast algorithms for wireless networks, issues of message dissemination are considered together with issues of contention management. This combination leads to complicated ... -
Neighbor discovery in mobile ad hoc networks using an abstract MAC layer
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-01)We explore the problem of neighbor discovery in a mobile ad hoc network environment. We describe a protocol for learning about neighboring nodes in such an environment. The protocol is used for establishing and tearing ... -
Simulating fixed virtual nodes for adapting wireline protocols to MANET
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-08)The virtual node layer (VNLayer) is a programming abstraction for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). It defines simple virtual servers at fixed locations in a network, addressing a central problem for MANETs, which is the ...
