    • Neighbor discovery in mobile ad hoc networks using an abstract MAC layer 

      Viqar, Saira; Welch, Jennifer L.; Cornejo Collado, Alex; Lynch, Nancy Ann (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-01)
      We explore the problem of neighbor discovery in a mobile ad hoc network environment. We describe a protocol for learning about neighboring nodes in such an environment. The protocol is used for establishing and tearing ...

    • Simulating fixed virtual nodes for adapting wireline protocols to MANET 

      Wu, Jiang; Griffeth, Nancy; Droms, Ralph; Lynch, Nancy Ann; Newport, Calvin Charles (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-08)
      The virtual node layer (VNLayer) is a programming abstraction for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). It defines simple virtual servers at fixed locations in a network, addressing a central problem for MANETs, which is the ...

    • On the weakest failure detector ever 

      Kuznetsov, Petr; Herlihy, Maurice; Newport, Calvin Charles; Lynch, Nancy Ann; Guerraoui, Rachid (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009-01)
      Many problems in distributed computing are impossible to solve when no information about process failures is available. It is common to ask what information about failures is necessary and sufficient to circumvent some ...
