A Bandwidth-Based Power-Aware Routing Protocol with Low Route Discovery Overhead in Mobile Ad hoc Networks

Master — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 15:59:27 +0000

In the design of power-aware on-demand routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks, it must be taken into account that nodes may use a great amount of power to find the desired routing path during the path-discovery phase. In addition, in previous research on power-aware routing protocols, the path bandwidth was often not considered. In this paper, we tackle these issues by proposing a power-aware routing protocol with low route requests (LRR) to find a path with high path bandwidth

Urban dwellers have an advantage over their rural counterparts when it comes to setting up a home wireless network. With smaller homes and apartments in the urban environment, the WiFi signal does not need to travel far. An entire urban home (of standard size—we have seen very large urban homes, too) can have WiFi connection with a single, well-placed router

Most laptops don’t have a hotkey or button to turn-off their monitors. The only thing you can do is either lessen the brightness of the screen or close the monitor itself. The former still consumes precious laptop battery, while the latter is not practical because it traps heat and the sounds coming out of the speakers

When it comes to note taking, we all could be more organized. When given a legal pad and pen to scribble our notes, most of us draw doodles in the margins and daydream instead of paying attention to the meeting. At the end of the meeting, we are left with lovely doodles, but no notes that are sharable with others.

Backup Your Gadgets in Windows 7

Master — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:33:52 +0000

Introduced in Windows Vista and carried over into Windows 7, gadgets are nuggets of useful and entertaining applications that complement the Aero Desktop. There are literally hundreds of gadgets that you can download online and since gadgets are made up of only XML, HTML, and image files, you can even create your own. Wherever you get your gadgets from, it is a wise idea to back them up so you don’t lose them in the event of a computer crash or if you accidentally forget to take them with you when you upgrade to a different version or edition of Windows.
