Networking at any time and any place paves the way for a large number of possible
applications in ad hoc networks, from disaster relief in remote areas to network extension …

Among constituents of communication architecture, routing is the most energy squeezing
process. In this survey article, we are targeting an innovative aspect of analysis on routing in …

Efficient routing among a set of mobile hosts is one of the most important functions in ad hoc
wireless networks. Routing based on a connected dominating set is a promising approach …

Research in exact algorithms, heuristics and metaheuristics for solving combinatorial
optimization problems is nowadays highly on the rise. The main advantage of using exact …

Unlike in a wired network, a packet transmitted by a node in an ad hoc wireless network can
reach all neighbours. Therefore, the total number of transmissions (forward nodes) is …

We propose a general framework for broadcasting in ad hoc networks through self-pruning.
The approach is based on selecting a small subset of hosts (also called nodes) to form a …

Due to the dynamic nature of the Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET), routing in MANET
becomes challenging especially when certain QoS requirements (like high data packet …

Multipoint relays (MPR) provide a localized and optimized way of broadcasting messages in
a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). Using partial 2-hop information, each node chooses a …

We propose a generic framework for distributed broadcasting in ad hoc wireless networks.
The approach is based on selecting a small subset of nodes to form a forward node set to …

We propose a notion of an extended dominating set where each node in an ad hoc network
is covered by either a dominating neighbor or several 2-hop dominating neighbors. This …
