Wireless mesh network (WMN) operates both in infrastructure and ad-hoc mode. It provides extended network coverage based on heterogeneous wireless technologies through multi-hop communications. In WMNs, the routing mechanisms and network organization need to be improved so that optimal path discovery or different protocols adaptability can be achieved. Hybrid routing is a demanding issue to be ...

An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. A number of routing protocols such as Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad Hoc on-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) and DestinationSequenced Distance-Vector (DSDV) have been implemented. Routing in adhoc networks...

MANETs are very advantageous and fruitful when there is no infrastructure or has been destroyed due to some reasons like earthquake, floods and so on. Data communication in MANETs are very challenging issue due to threats like limited battery power, limited bandwidth, mobility, routing and QoS and so on. Due to these challenges and scarcity of resources in MANETs, it’s very difficult to achieve...

Routing protocols play crucial role in determining performance parameters such as packet delivery fraction, end to end (end 2 end) delay, packet loss etc. of any ad hoc communication network. In this paper the performance of DSDV protocol in sensor network of randomly distributed static nodes with mobile source and sink nodes is investigated for source and sink velocities 0,10,20,40 and 60 m/se...
