The highly dynamic character of a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) poses significant challenges on network communications and resource management. Previous work on routing in MANETs has resulted in numerous routing protocols that aim at satisfying constraints such as minimum hop/distance or low energy. Existing routing protocols often fail to discover stable routes between source and sink when rou...

Secure transmission in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks has proven to still be a challenging task due to the openness in network topology and absence of a centralized administration. In order to enhance the security of network and protect the nodes from vulnerabilities, this paper proposes a novel energy based trusted routing scheme to select the most trustable path based on the route trust and also the ...

This paper presents a novel multipath energy aware routing for wireless ad hoc network. A deep analysis of different routing metrics such as MBCR, MMBCR and MDR have been led out and the Minimum Drain Rate metric has been selected as energy metric to integrate in the Multipath DSR protocol. Performance comparison with an energy efficient DSR (DSR-MDR) has been presented showing the benefits of ...

In this paper, we have compared important characteristics of MANET proactive routing protocol (DSDV), reactive protocols (AODV, DSR and TORA) and hybrid protocol (ZRP). Extensive simulations are being carried out with different load conditions of MANETs. The offered network loads in the performance plots are characterized by three parameters i.e. packet size, number of connections i.e. source d...

An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. This paper compared the performance of two prominent on-demand reactive routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks: Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV), along with t...

We consider the problem of balancing the traffic load ideally over a wireless multihop network. In previous work, a systematic approach to this task was undertaken, starting with an approximate optimisation method that guarantees a provable congestion performance bound, and then designing a distributed implementation by modifying the DSR protocol. In this paper, the performance of the resulting...

An on-demand routing protocol for wireless ad hoc networks is one that searches for and attempts to discover a route to some destination node only when a sending node originates a data packet addressed to that node. In order to avoid the need for such a route discovery to be performed before each data packet is sent, such routing protocols must cache routes previously discovered. This paper pre...

In this paper, we compare the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol and our Energy Aware Dynamic Source Routing protocol (EADSR). The implementation of the routing protocols is carried out using the Click modular router infrastructure on laptops with wireless ethernet cards running Linux. We demonstrate the working of both ad hoc routing protocols through our experiments and highlight the energ...
