Efficient OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) operation on multi-hop ad hoc wireless networks has become desirable, as wireless community mesh networks and vehicular networks emerge using OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing), a link state MANET routing protocol similar to OSPF in many aspects. OSPF is already extensively deployed and well known in wired IP networks, and could provide simple, seamles...

In the last few years, we have attested an impressive growth in wireless communication due to the popularity of smart phones and other mobile devices. Due to the emergence of application domains, such as sensor networks, smart grid control, medical wearable and embedded wireless devices, we are seeing increasing demand for unlicensed bandwidth. There has been also increasing interest from the w...

Wireless networks, Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Everything (IoE), and smart homes have become extremely important terms in our present-day life. Most of the buildings, companies, institutions, and even homes depend onthese technologies for interaction, communication, automation, and everything surrounding humans. To understand the advanced topics in wireless networks and IoT devi...

In this paper, we report, for the first time, experimental results on channel capacity of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) ducts based on multi-carrier transmission technique and measured channel frequency responses in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band. Experiments using actual synthesized signals through a building HVAC duct system demonstrate the abil...

With the rapid development of Ad hoc networks and a wireless mesh networks (WLAN) will become the next generation of new broadband wireless network with characters of multi-hop, self-organizing, self-healing, high robustness and high bandwidth. Through in-depth study of the network performance, It is observed that there is a serious interference and network connectivity issues between Wireless ...

Establishing connectivity between node pairs in inter-working multihop wireless networks is a challenge. Although connectivity in multi-hop wireless networks has been studied yet these analyses focused mainly on ad-hoc networks. Since the next generation of wireless networks will be inter-working, an understanding of connectivity as it applies to such networks is needed. Specifically, this rese...

Wireless mesh network is an advanced form of wireless network. A wireless mesh network provides a better solution to problems that often arise in cellular and WLAN. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are receiving increasing demand as an effective solution to deploy ISP’s wireless last mile access, such as wireless enterprise backbone networks and other applications. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) pr...

With the increase in deployment of multi-hop wireless networks and the desire for seamless internet access through ubiquitous connectivity, the inter-working of heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks will become prominent in the near future. To complement the quest for ubiquitous service access, multi-mode mobile terminals are now in existence. Inter-working heterogeneous multi-hop wireless ...

IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is the standard for wireless LANs, it is widely used in testbeds and simulations in the research for wireless multi-hop ad hoc networks. However, this protocol was not designed for multi-hop networks. Although it can support some ad hoc network architecture, it is not intended to support the wireless mobile ad hoc network, in which multi-hop connectivity is one of the m...
