Information Dissemination using Human Mobility in Realistic Environment (E-Inspire)

Dissemination of information in mobile adhoc networks has lately picked up lot of interest. Some studies argue that the dissemination in these networks should be contained while some argue that it should not. Research has found that it depends on the …

A Self-Organization Framework for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks as Small Worlds

Motivated by the benefits of small-world networks, we propose a self-organization framework for wireless ad hoc networks. We investigate the use of directional beamforming for creating long-range short cuts between nodes. Using simulation results for …

Achieving Small-World Properties using Bio-Inspired Techniques in Wireless Networks

It is highly desirable and challenging for a wireless ad hoc network to have self-organization properties in order to achieve wide network characteristics. Studies have shown that Small-World properties, primarily low average path length (APL) and …

Self-organization of nodes using bio-inspired techniques for achieving small world properties

In an autonomous wireless sensor network, self-organization of the nodes is essential to achieve network wide characteristics. We believe that connectivity in wireless autonomous networks can be increased and overall average path length can be …

Self-Organization of Wireless Ad Hoc Networks as Small Worlds Using Long Range Directional Beams

We study how long range directional beams can be used for self-organization of a wireless network to exhibit small world properties. Using simulation results for randomized beamforming as a guideline, we identify crucial design issues for algorithm …
