    Mobility and MAC protocols in MANETs
    (2005-12) Djenouri, Djamel; Bouznada, Mohamed; Khiyat, Faten
    The emergence of lightweight wireless mobile de-vices, like laptops, PDAs, and sensors makes mo-bile ad hoc networks (MANETs) an exciting and important research area in recent years. The MANET community have been concentrating on some problems related to the network layer, es-pecially on the routing protocols. But regarding the MAC level, little has been done. No novel protocol has been proposed but traditional wire¬less MAC protocols have been largely adopted. Our contribution in this paper is the deep inves¬tigation of the mobility impacts on MAC proto¬cols in MANETs, using the GloMoSim simula¬tion tool. We think we are the first who consider nodes' mobility when analyzing MAC protocols in MANETs.

    Scalability of Wireless MAC Protocols in Mobile Ad hoc Networks
    (IEEE, 2005-07) Djenouri, Djamel; Bouznada, Mohamed; Khiyat, Faten; Khelladi, Lyes
    The rapid proliferation of lightweight wireless mobile devices, such as laptops, PDAs, and sensors makes mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) an exciting and important research area nowadays. The MANET community have been concentrating on some problems related to the network layer, especially on the routing protocols. But regarding the MAC layer, little has been done. Our contri- bution in this paper is the deep investigation of the MAC protocols scalability in MANETs, using the GloMoSim simulation tool. We think we are the first who consider the scalability factor when analyzing MAC protocols in MANETs.
