MotionCast for Mobile Wireless Networks provides an overview on the research for mobile ad-hoc networks regarding capacity and connectivity. Wireless ad-hoc networks are useful when there is a lack of infrastructure for communication. The proposed notion “MotionCast” is for the capacity analysis of multicast in MANET. A new kind of connectivity (k;m)-connectivity, is also defined, and its critical transmission range for i.i.d. (independently and identically distributed) and random walk mobility models are derived respectively. This book also investigates the related issues of connectivity in mobile and static circumstances. In addition, it provides a survey of the capacity scaling research, which gives a good summary of this field.

This book first presents a systematic theoretical study of wireless localization techniques. Then, guided by the theoretical results, the authors provide design approaches for improving the performance of localization systems and making the deployment of the systems more convenient.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Wireless Algorithms, Systems, and Applications, WASA 2012, held in Yellow Mountains, China, in August 2012. The 24 revised full papers presented together with 32 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 116 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics such as cognitive radio networks, cyber-physical network systems, mobile handset networking systems, underwater and radar wireless networks, and wireless and mobile security.
