This paper aims to depict the performance of cluster based routing protocol (Leach protocol) and multipath routing protocol (Multipath Ring Routing protocol) for Wireless Body Sensor Networks where the mobility is a crucial constraint to handle. Previous works mainly dedicate the above mentioned protocols to Wireless Sensor Networks where the topology is static and support hundreds of sensors, ...

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerged as a key technology for next-generation wireless networking. Routing is a key factor for transfer of packets from source to destination. Every routing protocol has its own advantages and disadvantages. So selection of routing protocol is important for any network. Learning about advantages and disadvantages of protocols help us to know the effective se...

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes which moves frequently without the aid of any centralized network and they are self-organized and self-configurable network by a collection of mobile nodes. Due to mobility of nodes, there introduces frequent link failures which lead to increased routing overhead and introduce delay during data transmission. These problems put in f...

Routing is a key component for building an interconnected network architecture. There are interdomain and intra-domain routing protocols. The interdomain routing protocol has experienced increasingly frequent anomalies, such as IP prefix hijackings, route leaks, or impact from large-scale disruptive routing events. The intra-domain routing also suffers from various attacks originated from withi...

The commonly unattended and hostile deployments of WSNs and their resource-constrained sensor devices have led to an increasing demand for secure energy-efficient protocols. Routing and data aggregation receive the most attention since they are among the daily network routines. With the awareness of such demand, we found that so far there has been no work that lays out a secure routing protocol...

The ad hoc network consists of mobile hosts which communicate with each other by radio media. The mobile host must route data to the host within the radio range by hopping to the destination host. Since the hosts are mobile and the network topology is variable, routing protocols have been an important research issue in the network area. On-demand routing protocol is an efficient protocol in the...

Design of practical routing protocols is complex and dificult due to complicated requirements of faulttolerance and flexibility. The protocol is defined to be fault-tolerant if messages can be rerouted via another path when the communication channel fails. In this paper, we propose a new synthesis method for generating a fault-tolerant routing protocol for a given service specification and a ne...

among structured peer-to-peer systems, chord has a general popularity due to its salient features like simplicity, high scalability, small path length with respect to network size, and flexibility on node join and departure. however, chord doesn’t take into account the topology of underlying physical network when a new node is being added to the system, thus resulting in high routing latency an...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are highly vulnerable to both link and node failures due to nodal mobility. The routing resilience against link and/or node failures needs to be enhanced to avoid the degradation of network performance. This can be achieved by multipath routing which uses multiple alternative paths to route the messages via multiple disjoint paths and result in increased bandwidt...

Routing packets in mobile ad hoc networks has been considered to a great extent, even though the hypothesis on full connectivity is generally not valid in a real time system which means that a practical routing protocol ought to handle intermittent connectivity and the absence of end-to-end connections. In this paper, we propose a location aware routing mechanism called adaptive position based ...
