Ad-Hoc, Mobile and Wireless Networks: 8th International Conference, ADHOC-NOW 2009, Murcia, Spain, September 22-25, 2009, Proceedings [Paperback]

The 8th International Conference on Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless (ADHOC-NOW 2009) was held September 2225, 2009 in Murcia, Spain. Since ADHOCNOW started as a workshop in 2002, it has become a well-established and well-known international conference dedicated to wireless and mobile c- puting. During the last few years it has been held in Toronto, Canada (2002), Montreal, Canada (2003), Vancouver, Canada (2004), Cancun, Mexico (2005), Ottawa, Canada (2006), Morelia, Mexico (2007) and Sophia Antipolis, France (2008). The conference serves as a forum for interesting discussions on ongoing research and new contributions addressing both experimental and theoretical research in the area of ad hoc networks, mesh networks, sensor networks and vehicular networks. In 2009, we recived 92 submissions from 28 di?erent countries around the globe: Algeria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Finland, France, G- many, Greece, India, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico,Norway,Poland,Portugal,Serbia,SouthAfrica,Spain,Tunisia,UKand USA. Of the submitted papers, we selected 24 full papers and 10 short papers for publication in the proceedings and presentation in the conference.Regular Papers.- TCP over Multi-Hop Wireless Networks: The Impact of MAC Level Interactions.- Cooperative Signalling and Its Application in a Power-Controlled MAC Protocol.- Joint Source-Channel-Network Decoding and Blind Estimation of Correlated Sensors Using Concatenated Zigzag Codes.- Challenges for Routing and Search in Dynamic and Self-organizing Networks.- Routing Metric for Interference and Channel Diversity in Multi-Radio Wireless Mesh Networks.- Minimum Delay Data Gathering in Radio Networks.- Asymptotic Delay Analysis and Timeout-Based Admission Control for Ad Hoc Wireless Networks.- Statistical Properties of the Delivery Rate for Single-Sink and Multiple-Sink Sensor Networks.- Application-Driven Analytic Toolbox for WSNs.- A Diffusion Approximation Analysis of Multilevl£¨
