Reliable multicast is a critical network service for key applications in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Multimedia applications and data transfer applications have different QoS demands: delay-bounded delivery and 100% data delivery guarantee. In the paper, we present two reliable multicast protocols to meet these demands: Collaborative Opportunistic Recovery Algorithm (CORA) and Collaborativ...

Multi-hop data delivery through vehicular ad hoc networks is complicated by the fact that vehicular networks are highly mobile and frequently disconnected. To address this issue, the idea of helper node is opted, where a moving vehicles carries the packet until a new vehicle moves into its vicinity and forwards the packet. Different from existing helper node solution, use of the predicable vehi...

in this study, a robust controller is designed for fuzzy network control systems (ncss) using the static output feedback. delay and data packet dropout affect on the stability of network control systems, and therefore, the asymptotic stability condition is established considering delay and data packet dropout. delay is time-varying while the lower and upper bounds for delay is defined, and the ...

This paper is about the evolution of the Internet from a simple data network into a true multiservice network that can support the emerging multimedia applications and their protocols with appropriate performance and costs. The real-time delivery and specific bandwidth requirements of these multimedia applications have created a need for an integrated services Internet in which traditional best...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks are consisting of mobile nodes having limited radio range and bandwidth without having any fixed infrastructure. Thus to deliver the message from source to destination does not only require to establish the shortest route for message delivery to the destination. But also to establish such a route that can deliver the message with minimum delay so that the message can be s...

We analyze information delivery over a network where direct data exchange via wireless is not possible and therefore intermittent connection through vehicular relaying is used. We refer to a multi-hop scenario where a stationary unit exchanges data packets with a destination outside its communication range, using passing-by vehicles as information carriers. In such a context, we propose an exac...

Many applications of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are designed for vital event monitoring and to ensure timeliness and reliability for the measured environmental values. The communication protocol needs to prioritize the real time data and ensure the timely delivery of the data to the sink node. In this paper, a routing protocol for WSN has been proposed with congestion and delay aware mode to...

The growing use of multimedia communication applications with specific bandwidth and real-time delivery requirements has created the need for an Integrated Services Internet in which traditional best-effort datagram delivery can coexist with additional enhanced Quality Of Service(QOS) delivery classes. Such classes provide data flows with QOS commitments with regard to bandwidth, packet loss an...

The mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are a class of infrastructure-less self-organizing networks consisting of mobile devices communicating with each other over peer-topeer wireless links. Due to their distinctive features of robustness, self-organization, quick deployment and reconfiguration, MANETs hold great promises for many important application scenarios, like disaster relief, battle field...

This paper proposes the design of Vehicular CyberPhysical Systems (called VCPS) based on vehicular cloud for smart road networks. Our VCPS realizes mobile cloud computing services where vehicles themselves or mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets of drivers or passengers in vehicles) play a role of both cloud server and cloud client in the vehicular cloud. First, this paper describes th...
