Industry 5.0 requires intelligent self-organi- zed, self-managed, and self-monitoring applications with ability to analyze predict the human as well machine behaviors across interconnected devices. Tackling dynamic network behavior is a unique challenge for Internet of Things in 5.0. Knowledge-defined networks (KDN) bridge this gap by extending software-defined networking architecture knowledge...

Due to their inherent features, Mobile AdHoc Networks have proven their efficiency to exchange data between mobile nodes. The main issue in this type of a network is the delivery of data to a destination. Unfortunately, the mobility of nodes and the disturbances of the propagation channel lead to the increase of the loss rate, which undermines routing performances. To address this issue, routin...

Routing metrics proposed for Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) has various concerns like hop count, packet transmission delay, power consumption, congestion control, load balance and message collision. The routing metric of expected effective capacity (EEC) proposed in this paper guarantees to a select a path providing maximum throughput and minimum delay. A forwarding link constituting routing pat...

The exact calculation of all-terminal network reliability is an NP-hard problem, with computational effort growing exponentially with the number of nodes and links in the network. During optimal network design, a huge number of candidate topologies are typically examined with each requiring a network reliability calculation. Because of the impracticality of calculating all-terminal network reli...

Radio channel characteristics of mobile nodes are quite different compared with the traditional stationary base station to mobile radio channel. Wireless link reliability estimation is necessary for self-organization of wireless mobile multihop networks. In this paper, we measure narrowband path loss measurements in a typical mobile-to-mobile radio environment. For application, we proposed a me...

We present a formal definition of routing metrics and provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for a routing metric to be optimizable along a tree. Based upon these conditions we present a generalization of the shortest path tree which we call the “maximal metric tree”. We present a stabilizing protocol for constructing maximal metric trees. Our protocol demonstrates that the distance-ve...

Power-line communication (PLC) is a technology that has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it provides easy and high-throughput connectivity in residential and enterprise networks. The IEEE has standardized PLC with the 1901 standard, and the HomePlug Alliance certifies products and provides specifications for different data-rates and applications. Furthermore, tens of vendors offe...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks are highly dynamic networks. Quality of Service (QoS) routing in such networks is usually limited by the network breakage due to either node mobility or energy depletion of the mobile nodes. Also, to fulfill certain quality parameters, presence of multiple node-disjoint paths becomes essential. Such paths aid in the optimal traffic distribution and reliability in case of ...

We present a distributed algorithm for obtaining a fair time slot allocation for link activation in a multihop radio network. We introduce the concept of maximal fairness in which the termination of a fair allocation algorithm is related to maximal reuse of the channel under a given fairness metric. The fairness metric can be freely interpreted as the expected link traffic load demands, link pr...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are characterized by scarcity of resources and highly unreliable wireless channels, whereby minimizing energy-consumption is a key issue in design of communication protocols for the battery powered sensor nodes. The work in this paper addresses the problem of finding energy-efficient routes for delivery of packets through multihop communication with modification ...
