Progress and Location Based Localized Power Aware Routing for Ad Hoc and Sensor Wireless Networks

“…Due to its potential applications in various situations such as a battlefield, emergency relief, environment monitoring, etc., wireless ad hoc networks [1,2] have recently emerged as a premier research topic. Such networks consist of hosts that communicate without a fixed infrastructure.…”

Effect of Realistic Physical Layer on Energy Efficient Broadcast Protocols for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

“…Wireless ad hoc networks have emerged recently because of their potential applications in various situations such as battlefield, emergency rescue, and conference environments [1][2][3][4]. Ad hoc networks are without a fixed infrastructure; communications take place over a wireless channel, where each node has the ability to communicate with others in the neighborhood, determined by the transmission range.…”

Ad Hoc Service Grid

“…In this paper, we propose a new self-organizing service provisioning infrastructure called Ad hoc Service Grid (ASG) based on MANET technology (Giordano, 2002). ASG fills the gap between small-scale WLAN access points and global-scale mobile phone networks and presents a promising approach to the problem of covering medium-scale locations with local services.…”
