Maximizing network lifetime is a very challenging issue in routing protocol design for Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs), since mobile nodes are powered by limited-capacity batteries. Furthermore, replacing or recharging batteries is often impossible in critical environments (e.g. battlefields, disaster areas, etc.). Energy consumption was considered for a long time equivalent to bandwidth consum...

MANET is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self organize into arbitrary and temporary adhoc network topologies. The different features of Mobile Adhoc Network are Distributed operations, Multi-hop routing, Dynamic topology, Energy constrained operations etc. Routing protocols help nodes in MANET to communicate with each other. In Unipath routing protocols sin...

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a combined group of sensors form a network. WSN will monitor the changes in physical conditions and it will forward the data via multi hop network. Sensors are dynamic in nature so the lifetime of sensors and providing security for the data transmitted by the nodes are the major problems faced by the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Dis...

Routing amid malicious attackers in multihop wireless networks with unreliable links is a challenging task. In this paper, we address the fundamental problem of how to choose secure and reliable paths in such environments. We formulate the multipath routing problem as optimization problems and propose algorithms with polynomial complexity to solve them. Game theory is employed to solve and anal...

This paper aims to depict the performance of cluster based routing protocol (Leach protocol) and multipath routing protocol (Multipath Ring Routing protocol) for Wireless Body Sensor Networks where the mobility is a crucial constraint to handle. Previous works mainly dedicate the above mentioned protocols to Wireless Sensor Networks where the topology is static and support hundreds of sensors, ...

Efficient operation of multipath routing is considered as one of the important aspects in MPLS traffic engineering. Multipath routing has an advantage over the traffic routing based on single shortest paths because single path routing may lead to unbalanced traffic situations and degraded QoS (Quality of Service). This paper proposes a novel model for the performance evaluation of multipath rou...

Energy consumption is the most challenging issue in routing protocol design for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), since mobile nodes are battery powered. Furthermore, replacing or recharging batteries is often impossible in critical environments such as in military or rescue missions. In a MANET, the energy depletion of a node does not affect the node itself only, but the overall network lifetim...
