    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (IEEE, 2011-11-21)
    Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) enable vehicles that are not necessarily within the same radio transmission range to communicate with each other and with roadside units (RSUs). The success of data acquisition and delivery ...
  • Routing packets to distant locations in VANETs 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan; Safa, Haidar (IEEE, 2011-10-27)
    In the near future vehicular networks (VANETs) based on wireless technology will be part of our daily lives. VANETs enable vehicles that are not necessarily within the same transmission range to communicate with each other. ...
  • Using RSUs as Delegates for Pervasive Access to Services in Vehicle Ad Hoc Networks 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (IEEE, 2010-06-03)
    Vehicular ad hoc networks, also known as VANETs, enable vehicles which are not necessarily within the same radio transmission range to communicate with each other. In addition to allowing direct communication between ...
  • Semantic Caching for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (IEEE, 2010-01-29)
    Nodes in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) acquire data from servers through access points. In order to minimize this interaction, data caching at mobile nodes is employed. This work builds on a recently introduced cooperative ...
  • A Collaborative Service Discovery and Service Sharing Framework for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 
    Safa, Haidar; Artail, Hassan; Hamze, Hicham; Mershad, Khaleel (Springer, 2007)
    Service sharing and discovery play a relevant role in mobile ad hoc environments. Upon joining a self-organizing network, mobile nodes should be able to explore the environment to learn about, locate, and share the available ...
  • A Cluster Based Service Discovery Model for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 
    Artail, Hassan; Safa, Haidar; Hamze, Hicham; Mershad, Khaleel (IEEE, 2007-12-04)
    Mobile ad hoc networks, as a typical example of self-organized networks, represent an emerging and promising communication paradigm. Not only the variety of devices but also the diversity of services is continuously ...
  • Association between self-compassion and romantic relationship satisfaction among Lebanese university students: the mediating role of self-efficacy
