Geocasting in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks means delivering a message from a source node to all the nodes in a given geographical region. The objectives of a geocasting protocol are two-fold: guaranteed message delivery and low transmission cost. Most of the existing protocols do not guarantee message delivery, and those that do, incur high transmission costs. In this study, we propose the...
The performance of several unstructured peer-to- peer (P2P) content discovery techniques over ad hoc networks was analyzed in this work. They include: query flooding, expanding ring search, random walk and Bloom filter(BF)-based probabilistic routing. The chosen performance metrics are the query success rate, the route stretch and the search cost. Mathematic analysis is conducted to predict their...
First responders equipped with PDAs in disaster recovery scenarios may need to make decisions that select the best out of multiple options. Each of these options may originate from different parts of the network (e.g., risk assessment of various entrances to a collapsed building). Yet the highest priority option needs to be spread to all nodes within a time deadline and in an efficient manner, i.e...
