Numerous attributes of wireless networks, like mobility, frequent disconnections and varying channel conditions, have made it a tough task to develop networking protocols for wireless communications. In this report, we deal with numerous issues associated with both the routing layer and medium
This work presents the concept of code and data propagation in a multi-agent system. First, the concepts of agent and multi-agent system are defined and examples are presented. Also arguments for using agent approach are given and potential benefits are listed.Afterwards the
Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of communication devices or nodes that wish to communicate without any fixed infrastructure and pre-determined organization of available links. The nodes in MANET themselves are responsible for dynamically discovering other nodes to communicate. Although
In this dissertation, we study the problem of (i) routing and wavelength assignment, and (ii) traffic grooming for multicast traffic in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) based all-optical networks. We focus on the ‘static’ case where the set of multicast traffic requests is
This thesis investigates the IEEE 802.11b standard that describes radio communication for networks. The standard is carefully explained and the limitations of the standard are presented. To put the system in its context and to study the effects from the frequency translation,
