A trip down memory lane of “the grid in France today” — and an overview of the technologies currently being deployed (including Linky)
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,…
