Paper: Optimizing Route Length in Reactive Protocols for Ad Hoc Networks
Many protocols for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks propose construction of routes reactively using flooding. The advantage hereof is that no prior assumption of the network topology is required in order to provide routing between any pair of nodes in the network....Read moreRead More »

“The Trickle Algorithm” is conceived as an adaptive mechanism for allowing efficient and reliable information sharing among nodes, communicating across a lossy and shared medium. Its basic principle is, for each node, to monitor transmissions from its neighbours, compare what...Read moreRead More »
Paper: A Study of Link Buffering for OLSR
In this paper, we propose an extension of the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol based on link layer notification, “link buffering” and “packet restoration”. When link disconnection is detected by link layer notification, the route entries having the disconnected...Read moreRead More »

Paper: Analyzing control traffic overhead in mobile ad-hoc network protocols versus mobility and data traffic activity
This paper proposes a general, parameterized model for analyzing protocol control overheads in mobile ad-hoc networks. A probabilistic model for the network topology and the data traffic is proposed in order to estimate overhead due to control packets of routing...Read moreRead More »
