Network-on-Chips (NoCs) have been widely used as a scalable communication solution in the design of multiprocessor system-on-chips (MPSoCs). NoCs enable communications between on-chip Intellectual Property (IP) cores and allow processing to achieve higher performance by outsourcing their tasks. NoC paradigm is based on idea resource sharing which hardware resources, including buffers, links, ro...

Providing reliable multicast is a basic requirement to build more advanced distributed protocols such as total order or leader election, and much research has gone into providing this functionality for wired networks. However, the protocols developed for wired networks tend to be unsuitable for deployment on mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), as these do not take into account the node mobility or...

Conventional wired networks are subject to being tapped by a variety of means, whether copper or fiber connections are used. In addition, methods of network snooping exist that make such eavesdropping minimally invasive, but no less significant. Wireless networking has additional characteristics that also decrease physical network security. As new technologies emerge, the potential for loss of ...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is a collection of wireless moving nodes which communicate with each other and exchange data without any fixed base station or without the need of any kind of wired backbone network. These design characteristics make routing in wireless network a critical issue as routing protocols adopted in wireless network is completely different from wired network in which a ...

To participate in communication, a network node requires an address. In wired computer networks a node receives its address according to the hierarchical context. In contrast to wired networks, Wireless Mesh Networks have flat topology, since nodes are free to move and create highly changeable context. Besides, Wireless Mesh Networks should support mobility of nodes. By merging of hierarchical ...
