In this paper, we propose a new distributed routing protocol designed for multi-channel wireless networks. The proposed routing method consists of two major parts, relay and sub-channel assignment to find the largest spectral efficiency, and relay selection in each hop, using a probability base scheme. The PBS improves the accessibility by reducing the number of hops and traversed distance in t...

A real time methodology with full routing flexibility is used for minimizing mean flow time in FMS. The combination of flexible alternative machines and flexible alternative operation sequences are used to obtain the full routing flexibility in flexible manufacturing system. Full routing flexibility offers decreasing cost, reducing waiting time and increasing efficiency. This paper presents an ...

Hierarchical, cluster-based routing greatly reduces routing table sizes compared to host-based routing and the amount of routing related signalling traffic, while reducing path efficiency [8] and generating some management traffic [5], [10], [13]. Proposals for and analysis of cluster-based routing in dynamic networks include [9] and [13]. We present a local clustering method that requires no e...

Power amplifiers for wireless transmission provide a limited radiated power, and their efficiency depends highly on the operating point. We show that power control and routing strategies in multi-hop wireless networks are strongly affected by these non-ideal amplifier characteristics. For the analysis, we prove that the distances in random networks are governed by a generalized Rayleigh distrib...

Unstructured peer-to-peer networks are popular due to its robustness and scalability. Query schemes that are being used in unstructured peer-to-peer such as the flooding and interest-based shortcuts suffer various problems such as using large communication overhead long delay response. The use of routing indices has been a popular approach for peer-to-peer query routing. It helps the query rout...

In this paper we describe routing functions for optical packets in point-to-point networks. These functions are based on Eulerian tours. We first define different measures to handle the efficiency of this routing. Then, we describe an algorithm to compute these measures. Moreover, we present such an Eulerian routing in the Square Mesh and we prove that the induced paths are close to the optimal...

Most existing routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks take a single routing strategy for different types of networks. Routing protocols suitable for small networks may not scale well in large networks. Routing protocols perform well in sparse networks may not suitable for dense networks. To achieve good performance, different routing strategies should be used for different types of network...
