Routing is a basic step for data exchange. In wireless ad-hoc networks each node acts as a router and executes a routing protocol. Wireless ad-hoc networks are highly resource constrained in terms of network topology, memory and computation power. The reliable data transfer is a difficult task in wireless ad-hoc networks because of resource constraints. A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a kind...

Ad hoc networks have gained place in the research area recently. There are many researches regarding different topics related to such networks, such as routing, media access control, security, scalability, and many others. There are two usual methods to test and evaluate the performance of ad hoc networks: simulations and real test-bed. A network emulator is a tradeoff between pure simulation a...

In this paper, a framework is proposed to analyse the problems of connectivity and performance in ad-hoc networks through an analytical approach. To this aim, available results about the application of the percolation theory to the study of connectivity in ad-hoc network are exploited jointly with communication theory models in order to derive the configuration of the network parameters that en...

A wireless ad hoc network is a notable type of network in which a collection of mobile nodes with wireless network interfaces may form a temporary network, without use of any fixed infrastructure or centralized control. The Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) is a efficient routing protocol explicitly designed for multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks of mobile nodes. A connected dominating set ...

VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Network) which is a hy- brid network (combination of infrastructure and infra- structure-less networks) is an emergent technology with promising future as well as great challenges especially in security. By the other hand this type of network is very sensible to safety problem. This paper focuses on a new mechanism for DoS (denial of service) attacks on the physical and ...

Wireless network consist of wireless node without any administration. Due to present of mobility of nodes, the network is easily personated by several attacks. In 1980’s Mobile ad hoc network s have been widely researched ` for many years. Ad hoc network is a collection of nodes that is connected through a wireless medium forming rapidly changing topologies .The infrastructure less and dynamic ...

MANETs along with its special features has several challenges and issues those need to be considered. Routing in MANETs is one of such issue. So keeping this in view, it is considered to evaluate ad hoc network routing protocols. For establishing a wireless or an ad hoc network, we require a routing protocol, capable of handling all the environmental changes that take place in an ad hoc network...

Future wireless ad hoc networks will use mobile routers to provide Internet connectivity to mobile ad hoc users. A mobile router also allows mobility of an entire ad hoc network, e.g. in plains, trains, cars, and other vehicles, where mobile users may use an Internet access within an ad hoc network domain. Mobile Internet access is also required for various mobile networks such as Personal Area...

A Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) consists of vehicles which communicate with each other and exchange data via wireless communication links available between the vehicles which are in communication ranges of vehicles to improve the road safety in city. The communication between vehicles is used to provide road safety, comfort and entertainment. The performance of communication depends on how b...

Few real-world applications of mobile ad hoc networks have been developed or deployed outside the military environment, and no traces of actual node movement in a real ad hoc network have been available. In this paper, we propose a novel commercial application of ad hoc networking, we describe and evaluate a multitier ad hoc network architecture and routing protocol for this system, and we docu...
