Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) are the self-organized networks in which connections are not established for exchange the information. In MANET, there are major problems like scalability, dynamic topology, high mobility and routing. The network can be damaged due to the high mobility. Topology based routing can fail when there is a dynamic change in the network topology. To avoid these problems,...

Joint design of routing and Resource allocation algorithms in cognitive radio based wireless mesh networks. The mesh nodes utilize cognitive overlay mode to share the spectrum with primary users. Prior to each transmission, mesh nodes sense the wireless medium to identify available spectrum resources. Depending on the primary user activities and traffic characteristics, the available spectrum r...

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is an emerging technology that can be applied to safety, transport efficiency, or infotainment applications for roads and highways. However, due to its unique features, such as dynamic mobility patterns and uneven distributions of vehicles, VANET faces many challenging research issues for robust data dissemination in the network. Many routing protocols have been...

Link Expiration is a major problem in existing secure as well as non-secure routing protocols of mobile ad hoc network (MANET) and is one of the most encouraging research areas. Due to link expiration packet loss and other routing overhead increased. So, the requirement is both: secure and reliable link. Secure communication in mobile ad hoc networks is difficult due to the following factors: m...

Routing protocols in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks need to accommodate its dynamic characteristics such as node mobility, non-availability of central control etc. Node mobility increase challenges to the routing protocols with respect to attainment of the desired level of Quality of services. Apart from own communication, MANET nodes have to participate in packets forwarding to other nodes. Node coope...

An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless nodes that dynamically form a temporary network and operates without the use of existing network infrastructure. In the near future, many personal electronic devices will be able to communicate with each other over a short-range wireless channel. We investigate the principal security issues for such an environment. The traditional way of protecting ...

Qos routing protocol design for mobile ad-hoc networks is more challenging than wire lane network. Mainly due to node mobility, multi hop communications, contention for channel access and lack of central ordination.QoS guarantees are required by the most of the applications. Most optimal route has to be selected from source to destination by using QoS routing protocol. Many routing protocols ar...

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) consists of a group of mobile nodes that can communicate with each other without the need of infrastructure. The movement of nodes in MANET is random; therefore MANETs have a dynamic topology. Because of this dynamic topology, the link breakages in these networks are something common. This problem causes high data loss and delay. In order to decrease these problems...

Security has become one of the major issues for data communication over wired and wireless networks. The dynamic routing algorithm is used to randomize delivery paths for data transmission which is compatible with popular routing protocols, such as the Routing Information Protocol in wired networks and Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector protocol in wireless networks, without introducing extr...
