Vehicular networking has significant potential to enable diverse applications associated with traffic safety, traffic efficiency and infotainment. In this paper, we address the issue of congestion in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). In VANETs, the periodic beacon broadcast may consume a large part of the available bandwidth, which may lead to severely affect the dissemination of the event-driven...
In the context of forest fire management, wireless communication is an indispensable tool. It insures events information transmission and communication between fire defenders. Traditionally, cellular networks (CNs) are used during crisis. However due to the lack of population in far forests, CNs suffer from coverage problems. In addition, the experience has proved some reachability and capacity problems...
In order to increase the efficient spectrum usage and to mitigate the current spectrum scarcity, dynamic spectrum access is considered to be an emerging technique. In this paper, based on the concept of dynamic spectrum access, we propose a Markov process that models the two-way interaction process between a primary and a cognitive radio user for dynamic spectrum usage. Several probabilities and matrices...
One of the most promising frameworks to handle mobility management in wireless heterogeneous networks is the Media Independent Handover (MIH) standard. Among the services MIH is providing to achieve efficient mobility management, Information Services allow data exchanging between heterogeneous network nodes. In this paper, we propose an implementation of this Media Independent Information Services...
Dynamic spectrum sharing is a promising technique to optimize the spectrum utilization. It allows the cognitive radio (CR) nodes to access the available spectrum dynamically, without being restricted to static usage. In this paper, we propose multiagent system (MAS) based solutions to achieve licensed and unlicensed dynamic spectrum sharing. Firstly, we present a cooperative approach where the CR...
During a crisis situation, the incident commanders have to tackle several problems simultaneously, e.g., (1) the monitoring of a crisis evolution, (2) guiding and tracking of rescue persons and intervention robots, (3) monitoring rescue persons' health, etc. Thus, several solutions based on wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and cellular networks have been proposed. However, the real life experience...
In this paper we are interested in solving the problems of continuity of service using a Multiagent System (MAS) deployed on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs). We investigate the aspects of mobility and the losses it costs in terms of continuity of service. The aim of this research is the development of agents' coordination protocols for these highly dynamic environments like MANETs. One of the difficulties...
The basic role of a wireless sensor network (WSN) is to collect information from the environment by many sensor nodes (SNs). The SN typically has a finite battery life and nodes' failures can lead to network partition. Therefore, it is important to minimize the energy usage of each sensor node and to manage the power of SN in critical position that their failure could divide the network. The current...
The main goal of wireless sensor networks is to gather information from the region of interest through a large number of micro sensor nodes. This gathering is based on a communication architecture such as client/server which consumes a lot of power and doesn't take in consideration the information properties. In this paper, we propose a new communication architecture for wireless sensor networks based...
