Energy conservation is an essential and critical requirement for a wireless sensor network with battery operated nodes intended for long term operations. Prior work has described different approaches to routing protocol designs that achieve energy efficiency in a wireless sensor network. Several of these works involve variations of mote-to-mote routing (flat routing) while some make use of lead...

In this paper, we propose an adaptive geographic routing protocol, which is composed of two routing protocols. According to the topology of the network, the adaptive geographic routing protocol can select a suitable protocol to route a packet around a hole in the sensor network. Experimental results show that the adaptive geographic routing protocol can route a packet in a suitable path and sho...

Several simulation and real world studies show that certain ad hoc routing protocols perform better than others under specific mobility and traffic patterns. In order to exploit this phenomena, we propose a novel approach to adapt a network to changing conditions; we introduce “a combined routing method” that allows the network to seamlessly swap from one routing protocol to another protocol dy...

Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) have become more and more important in ocean exploration applications, such as ocean monitoring, pollution detection, ocean resource management, underwater device maintenance, etc. In underwater acoustic sensor networks, since the routing protocol guarantees reliable and effective data transmission from the source node to the destination node, routing...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel zone-based routing protocol for wireless mobile ad hoc networks, which is named as Reactive Zone-based Routing Protocol (RZRP). The main objective of this protocol is to reduce the traffic overhead caused by proactively maintaining local or global neighbourhood routing information and frequent gateway node elections in high mobility and large-scale network ...

Hybrid wireless networks support both Mobile Adhoc network (MANET) and Infrastructure wireless network. An efficient data routing protocol is important to improve the network efficiency. This efficient data routing protocol support hybrid wireless networks for high capacity and scalability. In this paper, we proposed Distributed Three-Hop Routing (DTR) protocol to improve the capacity of Hybrid...

In this article, the SAR (Security-Aware Routing) technology is applied in the AODV (Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector) routing protocol, the AODV is modified as viewed from security performances, the wireless Ad Hoc routing protocol with secure consciousness could be realized, and the secure routing protocol (SAR-AODV) is simulated in the OMNet++ simulation environment based on the platform of ...
