... size (a predetermined number of slots), and must wait for these slots before broadcasting. Figure 2. Back-off procedure Depending on the applications, MANETs may have a variety of security requirements. Among the most important requirements are data confidentiality and integrity...

... Amelioration in the research studies related to mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks has shown greater concern in the presence of malicious nodes, due to which the delivery percentage in any given network can degrade to a larger extent, and hence make the network less reliable and more...

..., is made by incorporating residual energies of communicating and receiving nodes in the calculation of available link bandwidth. Findings Communication quality in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) does not depend on a single parameter such as bandwidth, energy, path stability, etc. To address...

...A. Abdollahi Nami; L. Rajabion Purpose A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) enables providers and customers to communicate without a fixed infrastructure. Databases are extended on MANETs to have easy data access and update. As the energy and mobility limitations of both servers and clients...

...Curt Cramer; Oliver Stanze; Kilian Weniger; Martina Zitterbart Many clustering protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been proposed in the literature. With only one exception so far (1), all these protocols are proactive, thus wasting bandwidth when their function is not currently...

... dissemination tailored to Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) showing frequent topological changes. Message routing occurs without the support of any network‐wide dispatching infrastructure thus eliminating the need of maintaining such infrastructure on top of a physical network continuously changing its topology...

...Jinbao Li; Yingshu Li; My T. Thai; Jianzhong Li This paper investigates query processing in MANETs. Cache techniques and multi‐join database operations are studied. For data caching, a group‐caching strategy is proposed. Using the cache and the index of the cached data, queries can be processed...
