In MANETs, there are many routing protocols like table-driven and on-demand routing protocols. Among these protocols, on-demand routing protocols are very sensitive in achieving the major challenges of MANET such as routing, security, bandwidth, quality of service and reliability and so on. The most popular on-demand routing protocols are Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source ...

We present joint radio selection and relay scheme that delivers data from a source to a sink in heterogeneous stationary sensor networks consisting of various radio interfaces. The proposed scheme finds the optimal relay nodes and their corresponding radio interfaces that minimize energy consumption throughout the network while satisfying the end-to-end packet deadline requirement. We formulate...

Advances in low-power electronics design and wireless communication have enabled the development of low cost, low power micro-sensor nodes.

Over the past decade, energy efficiency has consistently been a critical research topic in the field of wireless sensor networks. In wireless networks, signal interference often leads to power waste in a sensor node. Several SINR-based routing algorithms designed for energy efficiency or interference avoidance had been proposed. However, they are either too complex to be useful in practices or ...

Mobile ad hoc networks are infrastructure-less networks used for communication between two or more nodes without a common access point. Due to frequent changes within the topology of the network, Routing protocol design with energy efficiency is an important issue. Our proposed scheme MPEER integrates Energy efficient routing scheme to improve the performance during path discovery and in mobili...

Cost function based routing has been widely studied in wireless sensor networks for energy efficiency improvement and network lifetime elongation.

Wireless sensor network (WSNs) are promising while important as well as common strategies to furnishing pervasive computing surroundings for several applications. Unbalanced use of power is surely an normal problem in WSNs, described as multi-hop routing as well as many-to-one visitors pattern. This irregular power dissipation might significantly minimize the system lifetime. So in the effort t...

In this paper, we investigated the data fusion routing algorithm and the time synchronization algorithm for the wireless sensor networks.
