In this paper, we propose a new multicast routing protocol, named weight-based clustering multicast protocol (WCMP), for mobile ad hoc networks. The goal of this work is to improve multicasting performance in ad hoc networks by efficient use of the available knowledge of the networks. Keyword—multicasting, routing, mobile ad hoc networks

The objectives of a transport layer protocol include the setting up of an end-to-end connection, end-to-end delivery of data packets, flow control, and congestion control. There exist simple, unreliable, and connection-less transport layer protocols such as UDP, and reliable, byte-stream-based, and connection-oriented transport layer protocols such as TCP for wired networks. These traditional w...

Multi-hop ad hoc networks are envisioned to be an integral part of future mobile networks. Today, however, ad hoc networks lack the necessary resilience and reliability. This work proposes to use P2P routing overlays to enhance the dependability and performance of multi-hop ad hoc networks for devices that are subscribed to a provider.

Development of handheld features and mobile telephony makes Ad hoc networks widely adopted, but security remains a complicated issue. Recently, there are several proposed solutions treating authentication, availability, secure routing and intrusion detection etc, in Ad hoc networks. In this paper we introduce a securing data protocol in Ad hoc networks, SDMP protocol. This solution increases th...

The exchange of information between vehicles is a challenging issue for future Transportation applications. In vehicular Ad-Hoc network, the vehicles are interconnected with each other and they have not any additional infrastructure along the roadside. Vehicular Ad-hoc networks are eminent from other types of Ad-hoc networks. The Ad-hoc network attributed to their features such as infrastructur...

Wireless ad hoc network is a special kind of wireless network with a dynamic topology consist of self organized nodes. The nodes in the networks are randomly and frequently. Due to the self organizing and decentralized capabilities, ad hoc networks are used for a wide range of civilian and military applications. Wireless ad hoc networks are an open environment and it is susceptible to many secu...

Because of their good support and easy deployment, wireless ad-hoc networks are currently widely being used for many industrial or military applications. Like other communication networks, environmental conditions can have considerable impact on the performance of wireless ad-hoc networks. Temperature is a good example which results in thermal agitation of the charge carriers. Consequently, we ...
