Bad Science: Euh…*Optimistic* Link State Routing Protocol for Adhoc Networks????
The other morning, Google Scholar shot me another email, indicating new citations to my papers. It’s often interesting to see how other people build on what I’ve done in the past, and so it’s become somewhat of a tradition that...Read moreRead More »

We investigate broadcasting in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). We define broadcasting as being the process of delivering one packet, originated at one node, to (ideally) all other nodes in the MANET. We present specific problems related to broadcasting in MANETs,...Read moreRead More »
Paper: Combining Temporal and Spartial Partial Topolgy for MANET Routing – Merging OLSR and FSR
In this paper, we propose an extension to the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol, a proactive link-state routing protocol optimized for mobile ad-hoc networks, in-troducing temporal partial topology as a mechanism for re-ducing control traffic overhead. The extension is...Read moreRead More »
