Wireless networks today often rely on an underlying infrastructure, such as cellular-like networks where there are specific access points which allow wireless users to connect to a fixed (wired) infrastructure. On the other hand, it is possible also to operate with a stand-alone wireless network, also called MANET (Mobile Ad hoc NETwork), where each mobile device can act as a router for its neighbors. In both cases, Quality of Service is difficult to be guaranteed, because of the varying bandwidth and the possibility of disconnection, added to the limited memory size and power constraints of mobile devices.
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 0 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
