Link Quality Prediction in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Improving Quality of Service Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using OLSR

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...

Understanding link quality in 802.11 mobile ad hoc networks - Internet Computing, IEEE

W ireless local area networking is poised to become a mass-market technology. The past 10 years have brought a dramatic decline in WLAN technology prices of almost 40 percent per year.1 Analysts predict that the WLAN market will grow from 1.79 billion dollars in 2001 to 3.85 billion dollars in 2004,2 and that 70 percent of all notebooks sold in 2004 will include 802.11,3 the dominant WLAN techn...

Energy Efficient Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks by Using Honey Bee Mating Optimization

Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are composed of mobile stations communicating through wireless links, without any fixed backbone support. In these networks, limited power energy supply, and frequent topology changes caused by node mobility, makes their routing a challenging problem. TORA is one of the routing protocols that successfully copes with the nodes’ mobility side effects, but it do...

On supporting link asymmetry in mobile ad hoc networks

The existing routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks assume that all nodes have the same transmission range. In other words, the mobile ad hoc network has only symmetric links. However, since nodes consume battery power independently according to their computing and communication load, there exist asymmetric links, which means that node A is within node B’s transmission range, but not vice ...
