mobile ad hoc networks (manet) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. since manet has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. the olsr protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. olsr introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...

wireless ad hoc networks are composed of independent nodes managing the network without any infrastructure. the connection between nodes is provided by sending packages and by trusting to each other. therefore, using efficient and certain protocols is the essential requirement of these networks. due to special characteristics of wireless ad hoc networks such as lack of a fixed infrastructure, t...

quorum-based power saving (qps) protocols allow “asynchronous” wireless hosts, operating in a multi-hop ad-hoc network, to tune to the low power mode conceived in ieee 802.11 mac standard. qps schemes guarantee that the wake-up schedule for every two neighboring hosts would ultimately overlap within a bounded latency so as to be able to accomplish their reciprocal “unicast” communications. a ma...

telemedicine has changed the way of health care. it is an indispensable tool in the hands of doctors to accelerate and facilitate the process of data interchange. wireless networks consist of small nodes with communications capabilities. development of wireless networks of telemedicine system is highly demanded since these networks promise a wide range of potential applications. in this paper t...

mobile-ad-hoc-networks (manets) are self-configuring networks of mobile nodes, which communicate through wireless links. the infrastructure of a mobile ad hoc network (manet) has no routers for routing, and all nodes must share the same routing protocol to assist each other when transmitting messages. the main issues in manets include the mobility of the network nodes, the scarcity of computati...

In this paper, we intend to focus on the sensor network applications in firefighting. A distributed algorithm is developed for the sensor network to guide firefighters through a burning area. The sensor network models the danger of the area under coverage as obstacles, and has the property to adapt itself against possible changes. The protocol developed, will integrate the artificial potential ...

It is very difficult and expensive to replace sensor node battery in wireless sensor network in many critical conditions such as bridge supervising, resource exploration in hostile locations, and wildlife safety, etc. The natural choice in such situations is to maximize network lifetime. One such approach is to divide the sensing area of wireless sensor network into clusters to achieve high ene...
