Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) have been widely employed in many fields including critical information delivery in open terrains as in tactical area, vehicular or disaster area network scenarios. To provide effective network maintenance for those MANETs, it is essential to adopt proper control communication methods, which provide reliable delivery of network information. However, it is difficult to provide control communication that meets the quality of service requirements due to the broadcasting of control messages and dynamic nature of MANETs. Interference is one of the major problems that degrades this service quality, especially for the networks deployed in open terrain environments. Moreover, large and dense MANET scenarios further complicate this problem. Even though many communication methods have been proposed in the literature, a satisfactory one for periodic and broadcast delivery of control packets considering the interference awareness and at the same time yielding high reliability, goodput, energy efficiency still does not exist for MANETs. To that end, we present a new control communication protocol, which is referred to as the Interference-Aware Periodic Broadcast Messaging (IPBM) protocol, for those MANETs deployed in interference-rich open terrains. We show that the proposed interference awareness mechanism of IPBM, in which the transmission power of the units is increased at certain periods, significantly reduces the packet loss caused by the interference problem. Moreover, IPBM achieves an important amount of increase in the link reliability as well as in goodput with the least power consumption among the evaluated solutions. The mobility support feature of IPBM makes the protocol applicable not only to large and dense but also to highly dynamic MANETs. Besides, IPBM can properly work alongside the deployed main data communication protocol, since it provides valuable network information to be manipulated. Simulation results under both static and dynamic topologies confirm that adopting the IPBM protocol in the intended MANET scenarios significantly increases the reliability and goodput as well as the energy efficiency.

Delay aware reliable transport in wireless sensor networks
Gungor, Vehbi C.; Akan, Oezguer B. (Wiley, 2007-10-01)
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are event-based systems that rely on the collective effort of several sensor nodes. Reliable event detection at the sink is based on collective information provided by the sensor nodes and not on any individual sensor data. Hence, conventional end-to-end reliability definitions and solutions are inapplicable in the WSN regime and would only lead to a waste of scarce sensor resources. Moreover, the reliability objective of WSN must be achieved within a certain real-time delay b...
Energy-aware routing algorithms for wireless ad hoc networks with heterogeneous power supplies
Vazifehdan, Javad; Prasad, R. Venkatesha; Onur, Ertan; Niemegeers, Ignas (Elsevier BV, 2011-10-27)
Although many energy-aware routing schemes have been proposed for wireless ad hoc networks, they are not optimized for networks with heterogeneous power supplies, where nodes may run on battery or be connected to the mains (grid network). In this paper, we propose several energy-aware routing algorithms for such ad hoc networks. The proposed algorithms feature directing the traffic load dynamically towards mains-powered devices keeping the hop count of selected routes minimal. We unify these algorithms into...

Altuntas, S; Baykal, Buyurman (Elsevier BV, 2005-03-15)
As the wireless networking technologies advance rapidly, providing mobile users with roaming freely in heterogeneous wireless access domains, the need for multi-access arises. This paper introduces the Mobile Multi-Access Management Architecture (MMA-IP) for IP-based future wireless networks. MMA-IP enables mobile users to utilize multiple access domains synchronously and to switch between different access domains. In order to handle multi-access operations, MMA-IP defines a new special mobility agent, call...
Cooperative Communications in Future Home Networks
Genc, Zulkuf; Rizvi, Umar H.; Onur, Ertan; Niemegeers, Ignas (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-05-01)
The basic idea behind cooperative communications is that mobile terminals collaborate to send data to each other. This effectively adds diversity in the system and improves the overall performance. In this paper, we investigate the potential gains of cooperative communication in future home networks. We derive analytical expressions for the error probability of binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signals over Nakagami-m fading channels in a multi relay communication network. Following to the analytical study, ...
Highly personalized information delivery to mobile clients
Ozen, B; Kilic, O; Altinel, M; Doğaç, Asuman (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-11-01)
The inherent limitations of mobile devices necessitate information to be delivered to mobile clients to be highly personalized according to their profiles. This information may be coming from a variety of resources like Web servers, company intranets, email servers. A critical issue for such systems is scalability, that is, the performance of the system should be in acceptable limits when the number of users increases dramatically. Another important issue is being able to express highly personalized informa...
