Focusing on mobile ad-hoc networks, the book explores the concept of "MotionCast" for analyzing multicast capacity in environments lacking communication infrastructure. It introduces a novel (k;m)-connectivity model and derives critical transmission ranges for various mobility scenarios. Additionally, the text addresses connectivity challenges in both mobile and static contexts, while offering a comprehensive survey of capacity scaling research, making it a valuable resource for understanding advancements in this field.

Focusing on the fundamental aspects of wired and wireless networks, the book explores TCP flow stability characteristics and performance metrics. It delves into stability definitions, fluid models, and AIMD parameters in wired networks, as well as stochastic models and flow mixtures. Additionally, it addresses TCP's impact in wireless environments, proposing a two-level model to analyze packet and call-level performance. Aimed at professionals, including professors and researchers, this work offers valuable insights into network performance dynamics.

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.
