For reliability of communication and simplicity, oftentimes packets are replicated along predetermined multiple routes to the destination. Alternatively, for traffic load balancing, data traffic is distributed along disjoint or meshed multiple routes to the destination – called selective forwarding. In this paper, we study and quantify the resource usage in these schemes, namely, packet replica...

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks(MANET) are characterized by bandwidth constrained wireless links, multiple hops and highly dynamic topologies. Providing QoS support in MANETs is hence a challenging task. This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of INORA, which is a network layer QoS support mechanism that makes use of the INSIGNIA in-band signaling mechanism and TORA routing protoco...

The laboratory toxicologist is frequently faced with the challenge of selecting appropriate vehicles or developing utilitarian formulations for use in in vivo nonclinical safety assessment studies. Although there are many vehicles available that may meet physical and chemical requirements for chemical or pharmaceutical formulation, there are wide differences in species and route of administrati...

This paper describes the formulation and solution of a multi-aircraft routing problem which is posed as a global optimization calculation. The paper extends previous work (involving a single aircraft using two dimensions) which established that the algorithm DIRECT is a suitable solution technique. The present work considers a number of ways of dealing with multiple routes using different probl...

Wireless sensor networks are being widely researched and are expected to be used in several scenarios. On the leading edge of treads, ondemand, high-reliability, and low-latency routing p r o ~ o l is desirable for i n d m environment applications. This article proposes a routing scheme called robust multi-path routing that establishes and uses multiple node-disjoint routes. Providing multiple ...

The objective of this paper is to initiate a qualitative analysis of dynamic flow in traffic networks by using the competitive equilibrium model of multiple market systems. A network is modeled as a dynamic graph where routes (edges) are viewed by drivers (agents) as gross substitute commodities which they choose by considering the traffic densities as prices of the individual routes. By borrow...

In this paper, we present a routing and channel assignment protocol for multi-channel multi-hop wireless networks. We view a multi-hop network as an extension to infrastructure networks, where a mobile host may connect to an access point using multi-hop wireless routes, via other mobile hosts or wireless routers. The access points are configured to operate on one of multiple available channels....

In recent years, routing has been the most focused area in ad hoc networks research. On-demand routing in particular, is widely developed in bandwidth constrained mobile wireless ad hoc networks because of its effectiveness and efficiency. Most proposed on-demand routing protocols however, build and rely on single route for each data session. Whenever there is a link disconnection on the active...

In this paper, we propose a new routing protocol called the Least Common Multiple based Routing (LCMR) for load-balanced multipath routing inMobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET s). First, we find multiple paths between a source to a destination, when those exist, along with the estimates of the time to route a packet along each of these paths. The data packets originating from the source to the desti...
