We show a cluster based routing protocol in order to improve the convergence of the clusters and of the network it is proposed to use a backup cluster head. The use of a event discrete simulator is used for the implementation and the simulation of a hierarchical routing protocol called the Backup Cluster Head Protocol (BCHP). Finally it is shown that the BCHP protocol improves the convergence a...

A new routing protocol called Scalable Energy Efficient Ad-hoc on Demand Distance Vector (SEE-AODV) having good scalable properties and energy efficient than existing Ad hoc on Demand Distance (AODV) routing protocol in wireless mesh networks has been proposed in this paper. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) consist of mesh routers and mesh clients, where mesh routers have minimal mobility and form...

One of the most important and challenging issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to optimally manage the limited energy of nodes without degrading the routing efficiency. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient adaptive routing mechanism for WSNs, which saves energy of nodes by removing the much delayed packets without degrading the real-time performance of the used routing protocol...

In Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET), the nodes intercommunicate through single-hop and multihop paths in a peer-to-peer fashion. Intermediate nodes between two pairs of communication nodes act as routers. For constructing the mobile ad-hoc network the routing algorithm play an important role. The performance evaluations of the routing protocol for MANET are evaluated via simulation. Routing proto...

In this research performance of RIPv2 Protocol is optimized using enhanced routing parameter like routing Update, convergence time, invalid timer, hold timer, Flushout timer .By review of RIP protocol the researcher use these value as 30sec update Timer, 180 sec invalid timer and 180 sec hold timer and 240 sec flushout timer, which result in low QoS and slow routing. This research paper mainly ...

The Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) is a simple and efficient routing protocol designed specifically for use in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks of mobile nodes. DSR allows the network to be completely self-organizing and self-configuring, without the need for any existing network infrastructure or administration. The protocol is composed of the two main mechanisms of "Route Discovery" ...

In network research, network simulators have been shown to be useful for testing and changing network protocols by means of a controlled manner. As an Internet systems simulator, ns-3 simulator provides an ideal simulation environment for network research. However, ns-3 is lack of table-driven IPv4 routing modules. Despite the fact that a routing protocol is a mandatory component of a network, ...

In recent years, a variety of unicast and multicast routing protocols for Mobile Ad hoc wireless NETworks (MANETs) have been developed. The Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) is a hybrid unicast protocol that proactively maintains routing information for a local neighborhood (routing zone), while reactively acquiring routes to destinations beyond the routing zone. In this paper, we extend ZRP for appl...

Efficient routing protocols can provide significant benefits to mobile ad hoc networks in terms of both performance and reliability. Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less and decentralized network which needs a very strong dyNAMic routing protocol. There are many routing protocols available for such networks and many have been proposed so far. Amongst the most popular ones are...

Instead of blindly searching for a route in the entire network, the location-based routing protocol uses the location information of mobile nodes to confine routing space into a smaller range that reduces routing overhead and broadcast storm. In this paper, we propose a location-aided cluster-based routing protocol called Core Location-Aided Cluster-based Routing protocol (CLACR). CLACR partiti...
