Multi-path routing represents a promising routing method for wireless mobile ad hoc networks. Multi-path routing achieves load balancing and is more resilient to route failures. Recently, numerous multi-path routing protocols have been proposed for wireless mobile ad hoc networks. Performance evaluations of these protocols showed that they achieve lower routing overhead, lower end-to-end delay ...

In this paper, we investigate an on-demand, link-state, multi-path QoS (quality-of-service) routing protocol in a MANET, which is important for many real-time multimedia applications. The basic idea of the on-demand, link-state, multi-path routing protocol is to reactively collect link-state information from source to destination in order to dynamically construct a partial network topology whic...

In this paper, we address the improvement of an acoustic model using the multi-path Hidden Markov network (HMnet) model for automatically creating non-uniform tied-state, context-dependent hidden markov model topologies. Recent research has achieved multi-path model topologies in order to improve the recognition performance in gender-independent, spontaneous-speaking applications. However, the ...

In recent years, on-demand routing protocols have attained more attention in mobile ad hoc networks as compared to other routing schemes due to their abilities and efficiency. There exist many ondemand routing protocols for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETS). Most of the protocols, however, use a single route and do not utilize multiple alternate paths. Multi path routing allows the establishment ...

The paper describes a problem of multi-agent path planning in environment with obstacles. Novel approach to multi-agent optimal path planning, using graph representation of environment models is described. When planning the path of each robot, the graph model of environment is dynamically changed for path correction and collision avoidance. New algorithm applies changes of robots’ paths and spe...

Research on multi-path routing protocols to provide improved throughput and route resilience as compared with single-path routing has been explored in details in the context of wired networks. However, multi-path routing mechanism has not been explored thoroughly in the domain of ad hoc networks. In this paper, we analyze and compare reactive single-path and multi-path routing with load balance...

This paper focuses on the problem of QoS multi-path in wireless ad hoc networks. An integration of a novel multi-path routing protocol and a distributed Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) MAC protocol is proposed. The MAC considered is called Evolutionary TDMA (E-TDMA) and the analysed multi-path routing protocol is the Ad Hoc On Demand multi-path Distance Vector (AOMDV) protocol. The integra...

There are some selfish nodes in wireless mesh networks multi-path inter-session network coding; and all selfish nodes maximize their earnings through the game. In this paper, a stimulus scheme is proposed which is suit for selfish nodes game in a multi-path inter-session network coding game. In the multi-path transmission, we use the watch dog checks the existence of selfish nodes. After selfis...

This thesis proposes a network coding based and easily-realizable composite network topologic model. It is composed of disjoint multi-path routing (DMR) and braided multi-path routing (BMR) in wireless sensor network, and network coding technology is also employed in our multi-path routing. With the use of the Node Coding technology and the multi-path technology, NC-RMR (Network Coding based Re...

We introduce the minor-closed, dual-closed class of multi-path matroids. We give a polynomial-time algorithm for computing the Tutte polynomial of a multi-path matroid, we describe their basis activities, and we prove some basic structural properties. Key elements of this work are two complementary perspectives we develop for these matroids: on the one hand, multi-path matroids are transversal ...
