Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are characterized by dynamic topology, limited channel bandwidth and limited power at the nodes. Because of these characteristics, paths connecting to the source nodes with destinations may very unstable and go down at any time, making communication over ad hoc networks difficult. Multicasting is intended for group-oriented computing. Multicast generally needs a ...

Wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANETS) are self configuring, dynamic networks in which nodes are free to move. In mobile ad hoc networks, the major performance constraint comes from path loss and channel fading. This project implements a channel adaptive routing protocol which extends the Ad hoc On-Demand multipath Distance vector (AOMDV) Routing protocol to accommodate channel fading. This c...

Various routing protocols, including Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (ISIS), explicitly allow "Equal-Cost Multipath" (ECMP) routing. Some router implementations also allow equal-cost multipath usage with RIP and other routing protocols. The effect of multipath routing on a forwarder is that the forwarder potentially has several next-hops for any gi...

The development of communication technology permits the people to use their mobile devices for streaming video content through wireless network. The real-time video streaming requires high band-width, minimum delay and minimum loss. Therefore it is difficult to provide the wide range of quality of services to the users. The quality of video is affected by dynamic change in the topology, multipa...

This paper proposes a new synthesis method for generating fault-tolerant multipath routing protocols. The protocol is defined as faulttolerant if messages can be rerouted by using another path when a communication channel fails. The routing protocols obtained adopt a multipath routing function, augmented with routing table, where each table stores the next nodes for multipath routing, and updat...

Unlike traditional routing schemes that route all traffic along the same path, multipath routing method split the traffic among several paths in order to ease congestion. It has been recognized by many that multipath routing can be fundamentally more efficient than the traditional approach of routing along single paths. Yet, in contrast to the single path routing approach, many research in the ...

Due to the constrained communication range and high density of sensor nodes in wireless sensor network, forwarding packets in sensor networks is a important field of research over the past decade. At present, multipath routing approach is widely used in wireless sensor networks to improve network performance through efficient utilization of available network resources. Accordingly, the main aim...

We present and verify ROAM, an on-demand routing algorithm that maintains multiple loop-free paths to destinations. Each router maintains entries only for those destinations for which data flows through the router, which reduces storage space requirements and the amount of bandwidth needed to maintain correct routing tables. In ROAM, routes are established and maintained on demand using diffusi...

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are self configuring, decentralized and dynamic nature wireless networks which have no infrastructure. These offer a number of advantages, however the demand of high traffic flows in MANETs increases rapidly. For these demands, limited bandwidth of wireless network is the important parameter that restrains the development of real time multimedia applications. In ...
