The IEEE 802.15.4 and Zigbee are protocols aimed at low-duty and low-power wireless sensor networks. Continuously monitoring applications such as applications of structural health monitoring could benefit from low power consumption of the IEEE 802.15.4 radio chips. However, existing implementation of IEEE 802.15.4 has limited applicability to ‘proactive’, high-traffic monitoring sensor networks...

IPv6 is the next generation internet protocol which is gradually replacing the IPv4. IPv6 offers larger address space, simpler header format, efficient routing, better QoS and built-in security mechanisms. The migration from IPv4 to IPv6 cannot be attained in a short span of time. The main issue is compatibility and interoperability between the two protocols. Therefore, both the protocols are l...

With the increasing demand for high data transfer rate, the communication is getting new developments. For progressive data transfer at high data rate services, the means of communication has now taken high offering bandwidth architecture such as optical networks. In optical networks the mode of communication is completely an optical medium and data are transferred from various nodes to reach t...

Mobile data traffic has been growing at an increasing rate with the popularity of smartphones, tablets, and other wireless devices. To reduce the load on the network, mobile network operators deploy femtocells to increase their coverage and performance and to eliminate wireless notspots. Femtocells are low-cost devices that connect a new femtocell network architecture to the core telecommunicat...

Innovation literature has long advocated that an innovation may be compatible or incompatible with an organization’s existing systems or resources (Rogers 1983). Compatibility of an innovation has traditionally meant that the innovation is compatible with the existing values, skills, and work practices of potential adopters. However, Tornatzky and Klein (1982) criticized this multi-faceted defi...

Traffic flow systems are nonlinear and uncertain, so it is very difficult to find their optimal points. In traditional traffic control systems, the traffic lights of crossings change in a fixed time period that is not optimal. On the other hand, most proposed systems are sufficiently capable of coping with the uncertainties of traffic flow. To solve this problem, there is a need to develop expe...

With technology scaling, growing wire delays and excess power dissipation of current metallic interconnects are predicted to significantly limit the performance of Networkon-Chips (NoCs) architectures. Recent research has focused on developing alternate solutions to current metallic interconnects. One potential solution is silicon photonics because of its higher bandwidth, reduced power dissipa...

Multipath routing protocols for Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) address the problem of scalability, security (confidentiality and integrity), lifetime of networks, instability of wireless transmissions, and their adaptation to applications. Our protocol, called MP-OLSR (MultiPath OLSR), is a multipath routing protocol based on OLSR [1]. The Multipath Dijkstra Algorithm is proposed to obtain multi...
