Exploiting the Synergy Between Peer-to-Peer and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Overview This paper argues that there exists a synergy between peer-to-peer (p2p) overlay networks for the Internet and Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) connecting mobile nodes communicating with each other via multi-hop wireless links - both share the key characteristics of self-organization and decentralization, and both need to solve the same fundamental problem, that is, how to provide connectivity in a decentralized, dynamic environment. The paper proposes Dynamic P2P Source Routing (DPSR), a new routing protocol for MANETs that exploits the synergy between p2p and MANETs for increased scalability.

IP poised to storm the call centre

While ease of deployment and network cost savings make for a compelling argument on their own, it is IP's promised benefits of easier multimedia routing and queuing, multi-channel integration, remote agent deployment and multi-site virtualisation...

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

The routing algorithm is based on the position of the vehicles and is able to handle the typically fast changes of ad hoc networks. The next step in automotive engineering is using radar and ultrasound to detect other objects and traffic flow...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
