In ad hoc networks, routing plays a pertinent role. Deploying the appropriate routing protocol is very important in order to achieve best routing performance and reliability. Equally important is the mobility model that is used in the routing protocol. Various mobility models are available and each can have different impact on the performance of the routing protocol. In this paper, we focus on ...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play crucial roles in numerous applications, such as healthcare services. For example, UAVs can help disaster relief and rescue missions, by delivering blood samples medical supplies. In this work, we studied a problem related to the routing of approach known UAV-based Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (UCVRP). This is classified an NP-hard problem. The deals w...

Disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, floods and COVID-19 continue to threaten the lives of people in all countries. In order cover basic needs victims, emergency logistics should be implemented time. Location-routing problem (LRP) tackles facility location vehicle routing simultaneously obtain overall optimization. response shortage relief materials early post-disaster stage, a multi-object...

Potential applications in areas such as military sites and disaster relief fields that are characterized by absence of prefixed infrastructure justify the development of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, unfavorable wireless links and dynamic topology are still challenging, leading to the proposal of a collection of routing protocols for MANETs and WS...

Background: Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) combined with physical therapy (PT) have yielded pain relief similar to that provided by PT alone in randomized trials of subjects with a degenerative meniscal tear. However, many patients randomized to PT received APM before assessment of the primary outcome. We sought to identify factors associated with crossing over to APM and to compare pa...

Disaster relief, education, and military are common situations where mobile nodes need to communicate in areas without any preexisting infrastructure. In these situations, MANETs (Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks) are used. When these nodes need one-to-many or many-to-many communication then multicasting is employed. Two of the best multicast protocols, MAODV (Multicast Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector R...

Advances in multimedia and ad-hoc networking have urged a wealth of research in multimedia delivery over ad-hoc networks. This comes as no surprise, as those networks are versatile and beneficial to a plethora of applications where the use of fully wired network has proved intricate if not impossible, such as prompt formation of networks during conferences, disaster relief in case of flood and ...

Disasters could cause communication systems partially or completely down. In such a case, relief operations need rapidly deployed system to save lives. Exchanging information among the rescue team is vital factor make important decisions. Communication required be robust failures, deployable, easily maintainable provide better services. Wireless ad-hoc networks choice of establishing with aid e...
