Extension of dynamic source routing protocol in mobile ad hoc network

In a large dynamic network, data can be copied anywhere to make it fault tolerant and easy accessed but there must be an efficient protocol to manage the replicas and make sure the data is consistent and high in availability with a low communication cost. In this paper, we introduced a new protocol, named Diagonal Replication in Mesh (DRM) for data replica control protocol for a large dynamic network by using quorum and voting techniques to improve the availability and the communication cost because quorum techniques reduce the number of copies involved in reading or writing data.The protocol of DRM replicates data for large dynamic network by putting the protocol in a logical mesh structure and access consistent data by ensuring the quorum not to have a nonempty intersection quorum.To evaluate our protocol, we developed a simulation model in Java.Our results proved that DRM improves the performance of the response time compare to Three Dimensional Grid structure Protocol (TDGS)

Predicting Performance of Channel Assignments in Wireless Mesh Networks through Statistical Interference Estimation

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) deployments are poised to reduce the reliance on wired infrastructure especially with the advent of the multi-radio multi-channel (MRMC) WMN architecture. But the benefits that MRMC WMNs offer viz., augmented network capacity, uninterrupted connectivity and reduced latency, are depreciated by the detrimental effect of prevalent interference. Interference mitigation is thus a prime objective in WMN deployments. It is often accomplished through prudent channel allocation (CA) schemes which minimize the adverse impact of interference and enhance the network performance. However, a multitude of CA schemes have been proposed in research literature and absence of a CA performance prediction metric, which could aid in the selection of an efficient CA scheme for a given WMN, is often felt. In this work, we offer a fresh characterization of the interference endemic in wireless networks. We then propose a reliable CA performance prediction metric, which employs a statistical interference estimation approach. We carry out a rigorous quantitative assessment of the proposed metric by validating its CA performance predictions with experimental results, recorded from extensive simulations run on an ns-3 802.11g environment

Optimisation of Mobile Communication Networks - OMCO NET

The mini conference “Optimisation of Mobile Communication Networks” focuses on advanced methods for search and optimisation applied to wireless communication networks. It is sponsored by Research & Enterprise Fund Southampton Solent University. The conference strives to widen knowledge on advanced search methods capable of optimisation of wireless communications networks. The aim is to provide a forum for exchange of recent knowledge, new ideas and trends in this progressive and challenging area. The conference will popularise new successful approaches on resolving hard tasks such as minimisation of transmit power, cooperative and optimal routing
