We study the energy-efficient configuration of multihop paths with automatic repeat request (ARQ) mechanism in wireless ad hoc networks. We adopt a cross-layer design approach and take both the quality of each radio hop and the battery capacity of each transmitting node into consideration. Under certain constraints on the maximum tolerable transmission delay and the required packet delivery rat...

Broadcast routing has become an important research field for vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) recently. However, the packet delivery rate is generally low in existing VANET broadcast routing protocols. Therefore, the design of an appropriate broadcast protocol based on the features of VANET has become a crucial part of the development of VANET. This paper analyzes the disadvantage of existing...

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network is a kind of mobile wireless network in which every node is mobile and autonomous. Since there is no infrastructure in such a network, a highly adaptive routing scheme to deal with the frequent topology changes is required. In mobile ad-hoc networks, there are some critical problems such as node mobility and the limited power of nodes, which can cause the link breakage. ...

The connection of ad-hoc networks to the Internet is typically established via gateways. To start an Internet connection, in a first step gateways have to be discovered by the mobile nodes within the ad-hoc cluster. Several gateway selection schemes have been proposed that select gateway nodes based on a single Quality of Service parameter, link capacity, link quality, path availability period,...

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...

In this paper, the performance of routing protocols DSDV, OLSR and AODV using performance metrics like Packet Delivery Ratio, Average End to End delay, Packet Loss Ratio and Average Throughput within Vehicular ad hoc networks for CBR applications over UDP connection has been analyzed. Network Simulator (NS-3.19) along with mobility model generated through Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) too...

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) the existence of malicious nodes is a serious challenge. Malicious nodes increase the traffic by sending distrusted messages. In this paper, we present CCTF: a congestion control protocol based on trustworthiness of nodes in WSNs using fuzzy logic. Through the use of CCTF, each node reduces malfunctioning neighbour(s) effects via dropping valueless packets and...

In WMN, handoff is a significant parameter of research. Whenever a mesh client leaves the range of serving mesh router and searches for accessing a new router based on good SNR (signal to Noise) ratio, a handoff procedure takes place. During mobility, packet transmission may enhance the number of security threats and network performance degradation issues which needs a secure routing protocol t...

Many appealing multicast services such as on-demand TV, teleconference, online games and etc. can benefit from high available bandwidth in multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. When multiple simultaneous transmissions use a similar channel to transmit data packets, network performance degrades to a large extant. Designing a good multicast tree to route data packets could enhance the...
