Companies nowadays are approaching towards an all IP paradigm by subscribing to different access technology links from several service providers for reliability, redundancy and availability while providing good Quality of Service (QoS). A framework for rule-based converged hybrid network management in multihoming environment is presented. Diversity and dimensionality of the platform’s service, ...

Routing in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks has received a lot of attention due to the challenges posed by the self-organizing nature of the network, the dynamic topology, and the unreliable wireless medium. One of the most critical issues for MANETs is how to increase network lifetime, since nodes are typically battery powered. In this paper we consider the proactive MANET protocol OLSR to improve the n...

Mobile Ad-hoc network is spontaneous and infrastructure less network, which consist of wireless mobile nodes. MANET is formed on-the-fly and also provides various operations like packet forwarding, routing, network management, communication, etc between mobile nodes. MANET is one of the types of wireless network, in which any mobile node can join the network and leave the network in dynamic per...

Azad 1 Bisignani, G., Plenary speech, IATA World Air Car The route planning of time-sensitive air-cargo is becoming more important with the growing air-network congestion and delays. We consider a freight forwarder’s routing of ...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have dynamic topology since all nodes have a random mobility behavior, which increases rerouting frequency and degrades communication performance. A more stable route can prolong route lifetime and reduce rerouting frequency. This paper proposes a Link lifetime based Backup Routing (LBR) protocol to improve route stability. LBR is based on link lifetime. It obtai...

Mobile ad-hoc network are an emerging research field due to the potential range of applications that they support and for the problems they present due to their dynamic nature. Peer-to-peer is an example of a class of applications that have recently been deployed on top of ad-hoc networks. In this paper we propose an approach based on contextawareness to allow peer-to-peer applications to explo...

Acyclic overlays used for broker–based publish/subscribe systems provide unique paths for content–based routing from a publisher to interested subscribers. Cyclic overlays may provide multiple paths, however, the subscription broadcast process generates one contentbased routing path per subscription. This poses serious challenges in offering dynamic routing of notifications when congestion is d...

Admission Control and routing are key aspects in next generation networks supporting advanced Quality of Service and Traffic Engineering functionalities. However, traditional Traffic Engineering solutions usually rely exclusively on routing algorithms to achieve optimization in network resource usage, while Admission Control is simply limited to a local check of resource availability, without a...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have inherently dynamic topologies. Under these difficult circumstances it is essential to have some dependable way of determining the reliability of communication paths. Mobility metrics are well-suited to this purpose. Several have been proposed in the literature, including link persistence, link duration, link availability, link residual time, and their path e...
