Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have recently gained considerable attention from both research and industry communities. One of the challenges posed by the study of VANETs is the definition of routing protocols design. In this paper, a realistic simulation environment is developed based on Mobility model generator for Vehicular networks (MOVE) and Network Simulator (NS2). The performance of ...

| We motivate and formally deene dynamic multipath routing and present the problem of packet forwarding in the multipath routing context. We demonstrate that for multipath sets that are suux matched, forwarding can be eeciently implemented with (1) a per packet overhead of a small, xed-length path identiier, and (2) router space overhead linear in K, the number of alternate paths between a sour...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) faces various challenges in routing. Many routing protocols has been evaluated for better performance in terms of delays, throughputs, load balancing and congestion control in multipath routing which is widely used in MANET. The mobility of nodes allows nodes to enter and leave the network dynamically. More Attention is given to the multipath transmission capabil...

In this paper, we investigate TCP performance over a multipath routing protocol. Multipath routing can improve the path availability in mobile environment. Thus, it has a great potential to improve TCP performance in ad hoc networks under mobility. Previous research on multipath routing mostly used UDP traffic for performance evaluation. When TCP is used, we find that most times, using multiple...

Intra-domain traffic engineering is essential for the operation of an Internet Service Provider. Demand-oblivious routing [2] promises excellent performance guarantee with changing and uncertain traffic demands. However, it is difficult to implement it. We investigate an efficient and deployable implementation of oblivious routing. We study its performance by both numerical experiments and simu...

Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) include wireless devices communicating over bandwidth-constrained links with nodes being free to move, join or leave network. Limited range wireless communication and node mobility ensure that nodes cooperate with each other to network and with underlying network, dynamically changing to meet needs continually. This research investigates performance of a highly dy...

Maximizing network lifetime is a very challenging issue in routing protocol design for Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs), since mobile nodes are powered by limited-capacity batteries. Furthermore, replacing or recharging batteries is often impossible in critical environments (e.g. battlefields, disaster areas, etc.) The proposed MEA-DSR (Multipath Energy-Aware on Demand Source Routing) protocol u...

This work proposes an efficient disjoint multipath geographic routing algorithm for dense wireless sensor networks (WSN), called Multipath Grid-based Enabled Geographic Routing (MGEGR). The proposed algorithm relies on the construction of a 2-D logical grid in the geographical region of deployment. The objective of the proposed scheme is to determine optimal or near-optimal (within a defined co...

Many multipath routing schemes have recently been proposed to improve the performance of wireless networks. Multipath routing is helpful for reducing end-to-end delay, for distributing the load among paths and also for increasing the throughput. However, multipath routing is not always efficient in terms of delay as, mutual interference between multiple paths may degrade the performance of rout...

─ Node-disjoint routing in MANETs is very essential to reduce the end-to-end packet delay and increase the packet delivery ratio. AODV (Ad Hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector) which is widely used for MANETs creates single-path route between a pair of source and destination nodes. Node disjoint paths may have worst performance then single path if they interfere with each other due to the br...
