Many applications for ad hoc networks are based on a point-to-multipoint (multicast)
communication paradigm, where a single source sends common data to many receivers, or, …

This books is by no means a treatise on all aspects of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs).
Rather, it attempts to present a unified perspective on ITS, encompassing a few …

In a self-organizing vehicular network, vehicles share and distribute information by rebroadcasting
a received information packet to their neighbors. An efficient broadcast technique can …

In this paper, we analyze the performance of vertical handover (VHO) algorithms for
seamless mobility between WiFi and UMTS networks. We focus on a no-coupling scenario, …

In this paper, we propose a Markov chain-based analytical framework for modeling the
behavior of the medium access control (MAC) protocol in IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networks. Two …

In this article, we present a novel theoretical framework suitable for analytical performance
evaluation of a family of multihop broadcast protocols. The framework allows to derive several …

In this paper, we propose a general framework for performance analysis of broadcast
protocols in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) with vehicles' positions modeled as Poisson …

In the near future, vehicles will be more and more advanced sensing platforms: for instance,
at least one smartphone (with several on-board sensors) is likely to be inside each vehicle. …

In this work, we provide an overview of an innovative approach for effective cross-network
information dissemination, with applications to Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). In …

In this paper, we present the design and performance analysis of an innovative system for
tracking Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in indoor industrial scenarios. An on-board …
