Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims to improve the communication performance of wireless ad hoc networks, which consists of terminals equipped with wireless communication devices without the help of communication infrastructures such as base stations and access points. Wireless ad hoc networks generally take source terminal-driven communication control principle and it may face the difficulties in network state prehension and adaptive communication control. This research studied a novel network-driven communication control which does not require controls on source terminals to address the former issues. The performance evaluation confirms that the proposed method could achieve higher communication performance, such as reliability and efficiency.
