). This has enabled very compact, autonomous and mobile nodes, each containing one or more sensors, computation and communication capabilities, and a power supply. The missing ingredient is the networking and applications layers needed to harness this revolutionary capability into a complete system. We review

Minimum energy mobile wireless networks

by Volkan Rodoplu, Teresa H. Meng - IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS , 1999
"... We describe a distributed position-based network protocol optimized for minimum energy consumption in mobile wireless networks that support peer-to-peer communications. Given any number of randomly deployed nodes over an area, we illustrate that a simple local optimization scheme executed at each n ..."

Adaptive clustering for mobile wireless networks

by Chunhung Richard Lin, Mario Gerla - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications , 1997
"... This paper describes a self-organizing, multihop, mobile radio network, which relies on a code division access scheme for multimedia support. In the proposed network architecture, nodes are organized into nonoverlapping clusters. The clusters are independently controlled and are dynamically reconfig ..."

A Review of Current Routing Protocols for Ad-Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks

by Elizabeth M. Royer, Chai-Keong Toh
"... An ad-hoc mobile network is a collection of mobile nodes that are dynamically and arbitrarily located in such a manner that the interconnections between nodes are capable of changing on a continual basis. In order to facilitate communication within the network, a routing protocol is used to discove ..."

A Highly Adaptive Distributed Routing Algorithm for Mobile Wireless Networks

by Vincent D. Park, M. Scott Corson , 1997
"... We present a new distributed routing protocol for mobile, multihop, wireless networks. The protocol is one of a family of protocols which we term "link reversal" algorithms. The protocol's reaction is structured as a temporally-ordered sequence of diffusing computations; each computat ..."

Mobility increases the capacity of ad-hoc wireless networks

by Matthias Grossglauser, David Tse - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 2002
"... The capacity of ad-hoc wireless networks is constrained by the mutual interference of concurrent transmissions between nodes. We study a model of an ad-hoc network where n nodes communicate in random source-destination pairs. These nodes are assumed to be mobile. We examine the per-session throughpu ..."

Mitigating routing misbehavior in mobile ad hoc networks

by Sergio Marti, T. J. Giuli, Kevin Lai, Mary Baker - Proc. ACM/IEEE MOBICOM , 2000
"... This paper describes two techniques that improve through-put in an ad hoc network in the presence of nodes that agree to forward packets but fail to do so. To mitigate this prob-lem, we propose categorizing nodes based upon their dynam-ically measured behavior. We use a watchdog that identifies misb ..."
