In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), locationbased service (LBS) is a typical application. In a LBS, it is valuable for each node to grasp the convex hull of nodes which compose a network by using a convex hull query. However, if the query-issuing node acquires the information on all the nodes, the information on nodes which are not the vertexes of the convex hull is replied, which is unnecessary for...
In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), to acquire only necessary data items, it is effective that each mobile node retrieves data items using a top-k query, in which data items are ordered by the score of a particular attribute and the query-issuing mobile node acquires data items with k highest scores. In our previous works, we proposed query processing methods for top-k query for reducing traffic and...
Emerging networked systems require domain-specific routing protocols to cope with the challenges faced by the aeronautical environment. We present a geographic routing protocol AeroRP for multihop routing in highly dynamic MANETs. The AeroRP algorithm uses velocity-based heuristics to deliver the packets to destinations in a multi-Mach speed environment. Furthermore, we present the decision metrics...

In this research, we propose a robust Sybil attack detection framework for MANETs based on cooperative monitoring of network activities. We do not require designated and honest monitors to perform the Sybil attack detection. Each mobile node in the network observes packets passing through it and periodically exchanges its observations in order to determine the presence of an attack. Malicious nodes...
The popularity of social networking service and the ubiquity of handheld devices improve chances of social interactions. Mobile social software emerges as a key part of this new trend. In order for users to enjoy this social experience, the resource state of member needs to be monitored so applications can adapt to dynamics of MANET and resource constraints on mobile devices. Previous work in resource...
It is shown in this paper how wireless network simulators should be extended to enable the realistic evaluation of link quality prediction algorithms for 802.11 MANETs. These extensions are a novel broadband small-scale fading model, bit/packet error modeling using this model with the Moment Generating Function of and the use of spatial correlation in the stochastic large-scale fading model. We justify...
We study the problem of predicting the residual link lifetime (RLL) in MANETs, where the nodes are able to measure the relative distances between them (e.g., by using the UWB technology). We propose a mobile-projected trajectory (MPT) algorithm, whose input is periodically sampled, noisy range measurements between the two nodes of a link. It estimates a projected trajectory, which is then used to...
Designing protocols for solving the consensus problem faces new challenges in mobile computing environments. Among others, how we can achieve message efficiency for saving resource consumption has been the focus of research. In this paper, we present the HC protocol, a message efficient consensus protocol for MANETs. We consider the widely used system model where the hosts fail by crashes and the...
