Mobile Ad hoc Networks are assortment of mobile terminals or nodes, allowing no stationary infrastructure and centralized administration. A performance evaluation of routing protocol is very cumbersome due to various metrics involving dynamic topologies, mobility, routing limited resources, security etc. In this paper, various existing routing protocols were reviewed. It has been analyzed that ...

WirelessHART is the most widely applied standard in wireless sensor networks nowadays. However, it does not provide any dynamic routing mechanism, which is important for the reliability and robustness of the wireless network applications. In this paper, a collection tree protocol based, dynamic routing mechanism was proposed for WirelessHART network. The dynamic routing mechanism was evaluated ...

The development of wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has inspired the transition from traditional battery-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) towards wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs). While extensive efforts have been made to improve charging efficiency, little has been done for routing optimization. In this work, we present a joint optimization model to maximize both char...

Multicast protocols are used to transfer the messages with a selected group of devices. Multicast is an effective method to maintenance group communication and decrease communicating energy. Multicasting can efficiently support a wide variety of applications. It is challenging to design a separate multicast routing protocol for sensor networks. The multicast routing protocols are fall under the...

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless network that comes with few routing protocols which have varied mechanisms. Studies show operations consume energy while current research focuses more on MANET protocol operation and its performance evaluation, the required for successful equally demands quality attention of researchers. Hence, need to expand scope study neglected area studies. To bri...
