Many DTN routing protocols replicate the same data over several nodes, in order to deliver data to destination in a faster or in a more reliable way. Of course, increasing the number of replicas has the effect of decreasing the delivery delay perceived by the users, but increases the use of the system memory.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126019123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in time critical applications (e.g., tactical wireless networks, civilian law enforcement operations, homeland security missions, etc.), latency is more critical than any other parameters. Long latency is generally attributed to the time required by authentication in the presence of eavesdroppers and jammers. To address the latency issue, this paper proposes a Secured Bilateral Rendezvous (SBR) protocol that reduces the communication latency while guaranteeing protection. SBR performs neighbor detection before authentication. During detection, nodes exchange a common secret key in plaintext that helps speed up the authentication process. The plaintext message is protected against jammers by allowing nodes to transmit simultaneously and to recover the partner's packets using self interference cancellation technique. Simulation results show that the proposed SBR protocol can effectively withstand various jamming attacks.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116721198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main challenge is exploiting spectrum holes to build up network paths that remain stable and that achieve specific network performance in terms of delay and percentage of delivered data, even if an opportunistic spectrum access is implemented. In this paper we propose a utility function based on the path connectivity, re-elaborated in a cognitive radio scenario, and we compare it with other utility functions that can be used for routing data in cognitive radio. We show that by using our utility function we select paths for the secondary users transmissions leading to better performance when compared with a utility function that selects paths with the minimum activities of the primary users and an utility function that minimizes the number of hops. These results are derived in great number of topologies and with different primary users activities.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124778934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By a simulation analysis, we show that these distributed approaches can satisfactory detect the communities formed by people only when they do not significantly change over time. Otherwise, as they maintain memory of all encountered nodes forever, these algorithms fail to capture dynamic evolutions of the social communities users are part of. To this aim we propose ADSIMPLE, a new solution which captures the dynamic evolution of social communities. We demonstrate that it accurately detects communities and social changes while keeping computation and storage requirements low.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132707314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Warning messages, among others, can be used to alert drivers, and thus improve road safety. To adapt to the unique nature of VANETs, which demands the delivery of time sensitive messages to nearby vehicles, fast topology control and scheduling algorithms are required. A clustering approach, which was initially offered for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs), can be adapted to VANETs to solve this problem. In this paper we present Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm (HCA), a fast randomized clustering and scheduling algorithm. HCA creates hierarchical clusters with a diameter of at most four hops. Additionally, the algorithm handles channel access and schedules transmissions within the cluster to ensure reliable communication. Unlike other clustering algorithms for VANETs, HCA does not rely on localization systems which contributes to its robustness. The running time of the algorithm was analyzed analytically and HCA was evaluated by simulation. We compared our algorithm with 2-ConID, a clustering algorithm for MANETs, under several mobility scenarios. The simulation results confirm that the algorithm behaves well under realistic vehicle mobility patterns and outperforms 2-ConID in terms of cluster stability.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130938280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, vehicular trajectory information can be compressed very efficiently using domain-specific lossy compression schemes. We discuss and compare three promising approaches that can be used to this end: linear approximation, cubic splines, and clothoids.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"2018 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114457631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The integration of multiple heterogeneous hosts from the sensor-node level up to the level of high-performance workstations is one of the most promising concepts for extensive and efficient analysis of streaming data. For controlling such a network, communication between hosts is needed, e.g., to initiate stream processing, to configure queries, and to transmit streams. One of the key challenges is global addressing and transparent yet efficient data exchange despite diverse, differently capable networks involved. For this purpose, we developed a cross-platform overlay network that enables transparent communication between autonomous stream-processing systems on different hosts in miscellaneous networks for both data streams and control commands. The system directly uses underlying native protocols within each network so that the most efficient communication method is applied. Furthermore, global addressing of instances of stream-processing systems and routing over the individual communication paths is provided.","PeriodicalId":350979,"journal":{"name":"2011 The 10th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124917644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
