We investigate on the sustainability of multihop wireless communications in the context of Information-Centric Networks, when content is replicated in caches over the network. The problem is cast in a flat wireless network for a given content popularity distribution and sized by three parameters, (i) the network size N, (ii) the content volume M and (iii) the cache capacity K per node. The objective...
In a publish/subscribe network, message delivery is guaranteed for all active subscribers at publish time. However, in a dynamic scenario where users join and leave the network, a user may be interested in content published before the subscription time. In this paper, we introduce mechanisms that enable caching in such networks, while maintaining the main principle of loose-coupled and asynchronous...
Policy management is a management paradigm that has been extensively studied for the case of fixed networks but limited work can be found for migrating it to mobile environments. It enables dynamic adaptation of the network behavior to current conditions based on high-level business and operational objectives. Publish/subscribe has become an important architectural style for designing distributed...
In this paper we underline the importance of utilizing unequal powers in wireless ad hoc networks. Recent results from percolation theory indicate that a threshold exists after which a very large randomly positioned ad hoc network becomes disconnected almost surely for a given communication configuration. In this paper we prove that it is possible to extend the region of connectivity by allocating...
This paper analyzes a two-hop extension to the coverage of an IEEE 802.16 cell. There is natural degradation in cell capacity due to multihop communications which can be mitigated by spatial reuse, adaptive modulation and coding. We estimate the available capacity by analyzing the random geometry related to the locations of the base station, the sponsor nodes and the mesh subscriber stations situated...
