Mobile Ad Hoc network (MANET) is a multi-hop temporary autonomous system of mobile nodes with wireless transmitters and receivers without the aid of pre-established network infrastructure. With the development of network and demand of users, QoS has become one of the focus issues. Some of the routing protocols provide QoS performance; however, more work is required in developing scalable ad hoc...

In routing, a source vertex sends a message to a target vertex and the routing algorithm decides a path from the source vertex to the target vertex. In 2013, Wang and Juan proposed a simple version of the WK-recursive pyramid networks, is called the basic WK-recursive pyramid network, which have received much attention recently. There are many literatures that study on this topology. This paper...

Multicast Routing in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) is a recent research topic. In this paper, we present a performance study of three multicast protocols: ODMRP, ADMR, and SRMP. Source Routing-based Multicast Protocol (SRMP) is a new on-demand multicast routing protocol that applies a source routing mechanism and constructs a mesh to connect group members. The strength of SRMP lies on its nod...

This paper proposes a new routing protocol for ad hoc networks built -around the source routing technique combined with the location (e.g., GPS coordinates) of nodes obtained by an energy and distance smart dissemination mechanism. The key new observation used is that the location information provides each node with a snapshot of the topology of the complete network from which a source route ma...

MANET is a collection of mobile nodes operated by battery source with limited energy reservoir. The dynamic topology and absence of pre-existing infrastructure in MANET makes routing technique more thought-provoking. The arbitrary movement of nodes may lead towards more packet drop, routing overhead and end-to-end delay. Moreover power deficiency in nodes affects the packet forwarding ability a...

We present the design and performance evaluation of a new secure DSR routing protocol for wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) called Security Aware Dynamic Source Routing (SADSR) that incorporates security attributes as parameters into a route discovery. The proposed protocol can be implemented based on the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol with suitable modification. SADSR enables the ...

Current ad-hoc network protocols are designed for hosts similar to those used in fixed networks. Those protocols are not adequate for some applications of ad-hoc networks, where used resources are very scarce. One example is the size of the network addresses, which may be a critical issue, specially with the use of IPv6 in DSR. This is due to the fact that this protocol uses source routing, so ...

In environments where sensor networks are deployed to monitor certain events or sensitive objects, attackers may deduce the approximated location of monitored objects by hop-by-hop backtracking the traffic. This paper proposes a routing technique to provide adequate source-location privacy with balanced energy consumption, the Phantom Routing based on Annular Zone (AZR). With this technique, th...

Wireless multihop mobile networks, also known as ad hoc networks, are characterized by stochastic topology variations. Random movements of mobile hosts in and out of each other’s range encumber smooth system operation and impose limitations on the network performance. Various routing protocols suitable for such networks have been proposed however implementation and performance issues are still ...
