• A novel multi-hop body-To-body routing protocol for disaster and emergency networks 

      Ben Arbia, Dhafer; Alam, Muhammad Mahtab; Attia, Rabah; Ben Hamida, Elye ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference)
      In this paper, a new multi-hop routing protocol (called ORACE-Net) for disaster and emergency networks is proposed. The proposed hierarchical protocol creates an ad-hoc network through body-To-body (B2B) communication ...
    • ADCS: An adaptive data collection scheme in vehicular networks using 3G/LTE 

      Drira, Wassim; Puthal, Deepak; Filali, Fethi ( IEEE , 2014 , Conference)
      Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are special kind of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). The distinctive characteristics of the VANETs include high speed of vehicular nodes and high variability in node density. Collecting ...
    • On the performance comparison between IEEE 802.11p and LTE-based vehicular networks 

      Mir, Zeeshan Hameed; Filali, Fethi ( IEEE , 2014 , Conference)
      There has been a growing need to integrate communication technologies with transport infrastructure and vehicles. The proposed approach would spur an array of vehicular safety, traffic efficiency and infotainment applications. ...
    • Roadside units placement within city-scaled area in vehicular ad-hoc networks 

      Ben Brahim, Mohamed; Drira, Wassim; Filali, Fethi ( IEEE , 2014 , Conference)
      We aim through this work to investigate the optimal deployment of roadside units, the stationary component in the vehicular network, in order to improve the performance, the reliability and the connectivity of the network. ...
    • Traffic offloading with maximum user capacity in dense D2D cooperative networks 

      Abbas, Nadine; Dawy, Zaher; Hajj, Hazem; Sharafeddine, Sanaa; Filali, Fethi ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference)
      Ultra dense networks and device-to-device communications are expected to play a major role in 5G networks to meet tremendous traffic requirements. In our work, we address traffic offloading in dense device-to-device ...
