Efficient routing mechanism is a challenging issue for group oriented computing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). The ability of MANETs to support adequate Quality of Service (QoS) for group communication is limited by the ability of the underlying ad-hoc routing protocols to provide consistent behavior despite the dynamic properties of mobile computing devices. In MANET QoS requirements can ...

In this work, we compare a recently proposed routing protocol, the multi-parent hierarchical (MPH) protocol, with two well-known protocols, the ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) and dynamic source routing (DSR). For this purpose, we have developed a simulator, which faithfully reifies the workings of a given protocol, considering a fixed, reconfigurable ad hoc network given by the number ...

<span lang="EN-US">Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a set of mobile wireless nodes (devices) which not rely on fixed infrastructure. In MANETs, each device responsible for routing its data according to specific protocol. The three most common MANET protocols are: dynamic source protocol (DSR), optimized link state (OLSR), and on-demand distance vector (AODV). This paper proposes an effici...

Today, one of the new technologies in the modern era is Vehicular Ad-hoc Network which has takenenormous attention in the recent years. Because of rapid topology changing and frequent disconnectionmakes it difficult to design an efficient routing protocol for routing data between vehicles, called V2V orvehicle to vehicle communication and vehicle to roadside infrastructure, called V2I. Designin...

Multi-Hop Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks are characterized by dynamic and frequently changing topologies, bandwidth constrained variable capacity ~ links and energy-constrained operation. Nodes in such a network are usually laptops or hand held personal digital assistants (PDA), which have limited resources like battery power, CPU power, storage capacity, and transmission range. Internet Protocol (IP...

An Ad Hoc network is an infrastructure less wireless network consisting of mobile moving nodes. In a network each mobile node act as a router as well as packet forwarder. Nodes in a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) have limited battery power. Power consumption of network interfaces can be significant. In a MANET, if a mobile node continuously transmitting the data packets, more battery power consu...

The overall goal of this paper is to investigate the scalability of the Fish-eye State Routing (FSR) protocol under different network scenarios in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). This performance based study simulates FSR under practical network scenarios typical of MANETs, and measures selected metrics that give an introspective look into the performance of FSR. The FSR protocol is compared a...
