Paper: Digital Signatures for Admittance Control in the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2

Public community Mobile Ad Hoc NETworks (MANETs), such as the âFunkfeuerâ or âFreifunkâ networks, scale up to several hundreds of routers, connecting users with each other, and with the Internet. As MANETs are typically operated over wireless channels (e.g. WiFi),…

Paper: Yet Another Autoconf Proposal (YAAP) for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks

This paper addresses the issues of automatic address and prefix configuration of MANET routers. Specifically, the paper analyzes the differences between âclassic IP networksâ and MANETs, emphasizing the interface, link, topology, and addressing assumptions present in âclassic IP networksâ. The…

Paper: Depth-First Forwarding for Unreliable Networks: Extensions and Application

This paper introduces extensions and applications of depth-first forwarding (DFF)-a data forwarding mechanism for use in unreliable networks such as sensor networks and Mobile Ad hoc NETworks with limited computational power and storage, low-capacity channels, device mobility, etc. Routing protocols…

Paper: OSPF-style Database Exchange and Reliable Synchronization in the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol

The Optimized Link-State Routing protocol (OLSR) is a proactive link-state routing protocol. While similar to the well-known Internet routing protocol OSPF, OLSR is designed to be simple, and to maintain connec- tivity in face of highly dense and dynamic networks,…

Paper: Enabling Multihop Communication in Spontaneous Wireless Networks

Since the end of the 20th century, wireless networking is experiencing explosive growth, driven by the popularity of wireless telephony on one hand, and by the development of wireless computer networks on the other hand. Both trends are currently merging…

Paper: MANET Network Management and Performance Monitoring for NHDP and OLSRv2

Mobile Ad Hoc NETworks (MANETs) are gener-ally thought of as infrastructureless and largely âun-managedâ network deployments, capable of accommodating highly dynamic network topologies. Yet, while the network infrastructure may be âun-managedâ, monitoring the network performance and setting configuration parameters once…

Paper: Expanding Ring Search for Route Discovery in LOADng Routing Protocol

LOADng is an on-demand routing protocol, derived from AODV, simplified for use in lossy, low-power and constrained environments, where the ability for devices to communicate is a commodity to their primary function, and where therefore not only the communications channel…

Paper: Stateless Load-Aware Load Balancing in P4

Together with my students, Benoit Pit–Claudel (X15) and Yoann Desmouceaux (X11), as well as my colleague Mark Townsley, and my good friend Pierre Pfister (X08), I have committed a paper entitled âStateless Load-Aware Load Balancing in P4â â part of…

Paper: Optimization of jitter configuration for reactive route discovery in wireless mesh networks

Jitter is a small, random variation of timing before message emission that is widely used in non-synchronized wireless communication. It is employed to avoid collisions caused by simultaneous transmissions by adjacent nodes over the same channel. In reactive (on-demand) routing…
