The hardware and software progresses of the last ten years provided the basic elements (wearable computers, several wireless-network technologies, devices for sensing and remote control, etc.) for the realization of pervasive computing and communication systems. In these systems the environment is saturated with computing and communication capabilities, completely integrated with the surroundin...

The Mobile Ad hoc Networks playing critical role in network aided communication requirements. The features such as ad hoc and open architecture based connectivity and node mobility are elevating the mobile ad hoc networks as much as feasible to deploy and use. The direct communication between any of two nodes in this network is possible if target node is in the range of source node. If not, the...
