Energy is an important characteristic of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). We proposeanEnergy Aware Multipath AODV protocol (EAMAODV) based on AODV. EAMAODV obtains nodes energy by upgrading the route discovery and route maintenance process of AODV. It calculates drop rate derived by routes total hops. Drop threshold is used in deciding the route. Simulation is done using NS-2.35. The results show...

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless network that can be formed without the need for any pre-existing infrastructure in which each node can act as a router. Providing high quality communications service among mobile wireless devices is basically a challenging task in wireless ad hoc networks. This paper proposes a multipath routing protocol called entropy-based multipath AODV (...

This paper proposes a novel routing scheme for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), which combines the on-demand routing capability of Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol with a distributed topology discovery mechanism using ant like mobile agents. AODV requires the actual communication to be delayed until the route is determined (found). This may not be suitable for real time ...

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become the trend for different types of research and applications. UAVs can accomplish some technical risky tasks while still being safe, mobile, inexpensive to operate. However, need flying ad-hoc networks (FANET) operate in inaccessible or infrastructure-less areas. Subsequently, many military civil applications, are connected ad hoc. FANE...

To bring VANET into reality, it is crucial to devise routing protocols that can exploit the inherited characteristics of VANET environment to enhance the performance of the running applications. Previous studies have shown that a certain routing protocol behaves differently under different presumed mobility patterns. Bypass-AODV is a new optimization of the AODV routing protocol for mobile ad-h...

Routing in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) is a challenging task due to its nature of open medium, infrastructurelessness, dynamicity and no trusted central authority. In MANET, a node can be compromised during the route discovery process. Attackers from inside or outside can easily exploit the network. Several secure routing protocols have been proposed for MANETs. In this paper, Ad-Hoc On-Dem...

AODV routing protocol facilitates changing and simple-to-setup network environment. It helps setting up a network without sufficient infrastructure, such as in disaster area. Development of AODV protocol has gathered a worldwide research interest. However, not many researches implement AODV routing protocol in real mobile nodes and real MANET. In addition, real implementation deals with other w...

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is basically a wireless network, comprised of a large number of sensor nodes which are densely deployed, small in size, lightweight and portable. AODV is a well known, standardized routing protocol used in WSNs. AODV is subject to several attacks like black hole, worm hole, mad in the middle etc. Several Intrusion detection systems (IDS) have been proposed which su...

A freely moving nodes forming as group to communicate among themselves are called as Mobile AdHoc Networks (MANET). Many applications are choosing this MANET for effective commutation due to its flexible nature in forming a network. But due to its openness characteristics it is posing many security challenges. As it has highly dynamic network topology security for routing is playing a major rol...

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is a technology that bridges the gap between fixed and mobile access and offer the same subscriber experience for fixed and mobile user. Routing protocols for WiMAX mobile ad-hoc networks have to face the challenge of frequently changing topology, low transmission power, asymmetric links and mainly overhead problems. Ad-hoc on Demand Dista...
