In this paper, aiming to reduce cellular network load, we propose a cooperative download method by which user terminals exchange fragments of a content called chunks through short-range wireless communication like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi with other user terminals who want the same content. In order to reduce the cellular network load, it is necessary to receive as many chunks as possible via short-range...
In a mobile ad hoc network, efficient routing, resource allocation, and energy management can be achieved through clustering of mobile nodes into local groups. In this paper we propose a clustering scheme that allows self-configuration and adaptation of the network, prolonging its lifetime by distributing energy consumption among clusters. A combined weighted metric approach is used to select cluster-head...
Energy consumption is one of the active research areas in wireless communication due to the limited battery attached to mobile devices. This paper describes an energy efficient network architecture for infrastructured wireless networks. The contributions of this paper are the study of a distributed localized algorithm for constructing Voronoi diagram followed by a network architecture based on Voronoi...
Recently, much effort aiming at achieving ubiquitous networks has been made. A ubiquitous network refers to a network environment, which enables anytime and anywhere access, by possibly any given device or by any user. In a ubiquitous network, applications require many types of information such as temperature and so forth. A great deal of attention has been paid to aggregate this information in Wireless...
Deterministic deployment of distributed sensor networks (DSNs) is sometimes impractical in situations where a global map of the environment is either unavailable or of little use because the environment is dynamic or hostile. One way to deal with such situations is to randomly scatter sensor nodes in the area of interest. However, the deployment carried out in such a way is generally far from optimal...
In wireless mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, multiple sources can provide multimedia file sharing at the same time. The selection of multiple sources is one of the key issues in the design of a multi-source transmission system in wireless mobile P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a distributed multi-source sender selection scheme to maximize the receiving data rate and minimize the energy...
Wireless Sensor Networks are traditionally composed of a multiplicity of sensor nodes that sense given phenomena and deliver the sensed data to specific sink nodes. In the most of the application scenarios, sensor nodes have been considered motionless. On the contrary, interesting possibilities arise if some sensors are embedded in devices carried by mobile agents as people, cars, animals, etc. If...
