Anonymous routing in ad hoc networks has been one of the major concerns over the past few years. Most researches have only focused on the route anonymity without considering energy efficiency and real-time performance which are also major concerns in ad hoc networks. In this paper, we propose a novel efficient anonymous routing protocol which provides not only anonymity but also energy efficien...

The efficiency of wireless sensor network largely depends on the routing protocol used. Routing is a major challenge for sensor networks as it presents a trade-off between responsiveness and efficiency. Hierarchical class of routing protocols introduces a structure on the network to achieve stability, energy efficiency and scalability. There are various protocols existing in this category. In t...

P2P Networks are highly dynamic structures since their nodes – peer users keep joining and leaving continuously. In the paper, we study the effects of network change rates on query routing efficiency. First we describe some background and an abstract system model. The chosen routing technique makes use of cached metadata from previous answer messages and also employs a mechanism for broken path...

-The approach of using mobile sink has been adopted in ad hoc networks to achieve higher efficiency in terms of gathering data from sensors. Mobility-assisted data collection brings in new opportunities to improve the energy efficiency nodes. However, mobile sink also introduces new challenges such as routing the mobile network. A lot of research efforts have been devoted to reduce this latency...

A number of energy-aware routing protocols were proposed to seek the energy efficiency of routes in Multihop wireless networks. Among them, several geographical localized routing protocols were proposed to help making smarter routing decision using only local information and reduce the routing overhead. However, all proposed localized routing methods cannot guarantee the energy efficiency of th...

One of the most important and challenging issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to optimally manage the limited energy of nodes without degrading the routing efficiency. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient adaptive routing mechanism for WSNs, which saves energy of nodes by removing the much delayed packets without degrading the real-time performance of the used routing protocol...

In this project, we investigate the performance of routing protocols employed for data transmission using real life protocols like “TCP/IP” in wireless adhoc networks. We come up with simple metrics to measure the efficiency of routing protocols. We study the behavior of TCP on multiple wireless hops and suggest design guidelines for increasing the “overall efficiency” of a routing protocol. We...

Recent advances in WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) have led to many routing protocols designed for more efficiency of energy utilization in the WSN field. While many routing protocols have been proposed in this field, a single routing protocol cannot be energy-efficient if the environment of the sensor network varies. This paper presents a FAR (Fuzzy logic based Adaptive Routing) algorithm that ...

In this paper, we investigate how to design greedy routing to achieve sustainable and scalable in a large-scale three-dimensional (3D) sensor network. Several 3D position-based routing protocols were proposed to seek either delivery guarantee or energy-efficiency in 3D wireless networks. However, recent results [1,2] showed that there is no deterministic localized routing algorithm that guarant...
