Many theoretical studies show that power consumed by the routing of data-packets in a wireless ad hoc network can be significantly reduced compared to the current min-hop max-power routing. But, in practice this is difficult to achieve since existing protocols do not provide accurate power information and do not exploit these savings in a mobile environment. This paper enumerates practical modi...

In this work we suggest algorithms that increase the reservation success probability for bursty tra c in high speed networks by adding exibility to the construction of the routes. These algorithms are simple enough to be implemented by cheap hardware. They cause no additional delay to packets that use the original route, and a very small delay to the packets that are rerouted. In addition, the ...

DISCUSSION The purpose of this RFC is to focus discussion on a particular Internet problem: a backup path for software maintenance of the European sector of the Internet, for use when SATNET is partitioned. We propose a mechanism, based upon the Source Routing option of IP, to reach European Internet sites via the VAN Gateway and UCL. This proposal is not intended as a standard at this time.

Based on a loss network model, we present an adaptive source routing scheme for a large, hierarchically-organized network. To represent the “available” capacip of a cloud (subnetwork), we compute the average implied cost to go through or into the cloud. Such implied costs rejiect the congestion in the cloud as well as the interdependencies among trafic streams in the network. Weprove that both ...

We consider a simple communication network model and focus on a single source-destination pair to exploit the interconnection between Source Coding and Parallel Routing. We consider a Distortion Measure that combines signal reconstruction fldelity with network delay and we pose the problem of minimizing this Measure by jointly choosing the Encoder Parameters and the Routing Parameters. We look ...

Due to node mobility, the ad hoc network topology is dynamical so that on-demand routing protocols are more fit than other routing protocols. Most secure on-demand routing protocols are designed that the destination or source is able to detect the attacks on routing paths after accepting routing requests or routing replies. In this paper, we present a secure on-demand source routing protocol wi...

Recently, many researchers have focused on the Ad-Hoc networks especially the routing protocols which include reactive and proactive routing protocols. The ultimate goal of routing protocols is forwarding data packet from the source to the destination. Consequently, several proactive routing protocols, such as routing information protocol (RIP), and reactive routing protocols, such as Dynamic S...

The Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of connected mobile nodes without any centralized administration. Proactive routing approach is one of those categories of proposed routing protocol which is not suitable for larger network due to their high overhead to maintain routing table for each and every node. The novelty of this approach is to form a binary tree structure of several inde...
