Collaboration Enforcement In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) have attracted great research interest in recent years. Among many issues, lack of motivation for participating nodes to collaborate forms a major obstacle to the adoption of MANETs. Many contemporary collaboration enforcement techniques employ reputation mechanisms …

Mobile ad hoc networks for oceanic aircraft communications
Research into mobile ad hoc networks (MANET's) has exploded in recent years. MANET's are a type of wireless network in which independently mobile nodes are capable of self-forming and maintaining a connected network, even in the face of topology changes. Surprisingly, there has been minimal work in …

Mobility Pattern Aware Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
A mobile ad hoc network is a collection of wireless nodes, all of which may be mobile, that dynamically create a wireless network amongst them without using any infrastructure. Ad hoc wireless networks come into being solely by peer-to-peer interactions among their constituent mobile nodes, and it …
