In wireless research area, efficient routing algorithms can provide remarkable benefits in Ad-hoc networks, including higher throughput, lower average end-to-end delay, less number of dropped data packets and generally an ameliorated network performance. Many routing protocols for such networks have been proposed so far. My research work, an attempt has been made to compare the performance of t...

Many time-critical applications forMobile AdhocNETworks (MANETs), such as themilitary applications and disaster response, call for proactive link and route maintenance to ensure low latency for reliable data delivery. The goal of this paper is to minimize the energy overhead due to the high control traffic caused by the periodic route and link maintenance operations in the proactive routing pro...

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that can dynamically form a network without using any pre-existing fixed infrastructure. Due to the mobility of the nodes, routing in mobile ad hoc network is not an easy task. A Number of mobile ad hoc routing protocols have been introduced. A set of performance comparison done for the most widely used ad hoc routing prot...

Safety on roadways is expected to be achieved by using vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). A VANET includes dynamically moving vehicles that communicate for a certain purpose. The routing procedure in the VANET protocol is required to deliver requested data packets to the vehicles in a short period of time. Conventionally, routing algorithms like the ad-hoc on-demand vector (AODV) routing, the ...

An Ad-hoc Network is a self organizing and self configuring wireless network. It is a temporary network established without the aid of stand-alone infrastructure. The topology of an ad-hoc network changes dynamically. The topology changes due to departure or arrival of a node. The nodes in mobile ad-hoc network acts as host as well as routers that routes the packets to the destination node. The...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are wireless networks consisting of a group of small, inexpensive nodes, which collect and disseminate significant data. Nodes in a wireless Sensor Networks have various energy and computational constraints due to their inexpensive, random method of deployment. Wireless Sensor Networks are utilized in a wide range of applications including battlefield surveillanc...

In wireless mesh networks, there are mesh routers which can compose a wireless backbone with low mobility. We propose a hop-by-hop multipath routing scheme which is suitable for mesh routers offering network reliability with route redundancy. We extend DSDV in order to have multiple next hops to all nodes in the network without additional overheads. The basic idea of our scheme is to make sever...

The versatile Ad hoc Networks provides communication among wireless nodes which occurs in the wireless medium. Energy effective routing in MANET [5] is a demanding goal which should be taken under consideration. Moreover, energy effective routing is considered to be the most important design criteria for MANETs because mobile nodes will be powered by batteries with limited capacity. The archite...

The expected transmission count (ETX) metric is a new route metric for finding high-throughput paths in multi-hop wireless networks. The ETX of a path is the expected total number of packet transmissions (including retransmissions) required to successfully deliver a packet along that path. For practical networks, paths with the minimum ETX have the highest throughput. The ETX metric incorporate...

A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is selfconfiguring network of mobile nodes connected by wireless links to form an arbitrary topology without the use of existing infrastructure. This paper does the comparative investigations on the performance of routing protocols Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad-hoc On demand distance vector (AODV) and Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector (DSDV) for wireless a...
