We present an overview of ad hoc routing protocols that make forwarding decisions based on the geographical position a packet's destination. Other than destination's position, each node need know only its own and one-hop neighbors in order to forward packets. Since it is not necessary maintain explicit routes, position-based does scale well even if network highly dynamic. This major advantage mobile where topology may change frequently. The main prerequisite for sender can obtain current...

Some forms of ad-hoc networks need to operate in extremely performance-challenged environments where end-to-end connectivity is rare. Such can be found for example very sparse mobile nodes "meet" only occasionally and are able exchange information, or wireless sensor sleep most the time conserve energy. Forwarding mechanisms such usually resort some form intelligent flooding, as probabilistic routing.We propose a communication algorithm that significantly reduces overhead routing algorithms,...

New trends in communication, particular the deployment of multicast and real-time audio/video streaming applications, are likely to increase percentage non-TCP traffic Internet. These applications rarely perform congestion control a TCP-friendly manner; they do not share available bandwidth fairly with built on TCP, such as Web browsers, FTP, or e-mail clients. The Internet community strongly fears that current evolution could lead collapse starvation TCP traffic. For this reason, protocols...

In this paper we introduce TFMCC, an equation-based multicast congestion control mechanism that extends the TCP-friendly TFRC protocol from unicast to domain. The key challenges in design of TFMCC lie scalable round-trip time measurements, appropriate feedback suppression, and ensuring delays loop do not adversely affect fairness towards competing flows. A major contribution is mechanism, component end-to-end schemes. We improve upon well-known approach using exponentially weighted random...

Compressive Sensing (CS) shows high promise for fully distributed compression in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In theory, CS allows the approximation of readings from a field with excellent accuracy, while collecting only small fraction them at data gathering point.

In order to cope with the severe path loss, millimeter-wave (mm-wave) systems exploit highly directional communication. As a consequence, even slight beam mis-alignment between two communicating devices (for example, due mobility) can generate significant signal drop. This leads frequent invocations of time-consuming mechanisms for re-alignment, which deteriorate system performance. this paper, we propose smart training and tracking strategies fast mm-wave link establishment maintenance...

Achieving data-rates of multiple Gbps in 60 GHz millimeter-wave (mm-wave) communication systems requires efficient beam-steering algorithms. To find the optimal steering direction on IEEE 802.11ad compatible devices, state-of-the-art approaches sweep through all predefined antenna sectors. Recently, much more alternatives, such as compressive path tracking, have been proposed, which scale well even with arrays thousands elements. However, not yet integrated into consumer devices.
