ABSTRACT
Using Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) for audio and video transmission is very promising for application domains such as emergency and rescue. However, audio/video streaming services are not designed for such dynamic and unstable networks. The problems are even more important in so-called sparse MANETs where the node density is relatively low so that disconnections and network partitions are common. We have designed an architecture that combines MANET routing with caching and delay tolerant store-carry-forward operations in an overlay network to improve the quality of audio/video transmission over sparse MANETs. We have implemented a prototype to evaluate the architecture. The results from the experiments demonstrate that our system clearly outperforms simple client-server solutions when the network has temporal disconnections.

Enhanced Geographic Routing with Two-Hop Neighborhood Information in Sparse MANETs
AbstractThe advance of wireless and mobile communications and networking technologies enables networked nodes to transmit and receive data in ad hoc manners without resorting to dedicated network infrastructures. When nodes arbitrarily move in a ...
3D P2P overlay over MANETs
We study the challenging problems of the mismatch between the overlay and the physical network and the resilience of the overlay structure in peer-to-peer (P2P) protocols over a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). Existing P2P protocols have used inflexible ...
Multicast overlay spanning trees in ad hoc networks: Capacity bounds, protocol design and performance evaluation
We study the benefits of multicast routing in the performance of wireless ad hoc networks. In particular we show that if a node wishes to communicate with n distinct destinations, multicast can reduce the overall network load by a factor O(n), when used ...
