Energy Efficient Location Aided Routing Protocol for Wireless MANETs
A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes
forming a temporary network without using any centralized access point,
infrastructure, or centralized administration. In this paper we introduce an
Energy Efficient Location Aided Routing (EELAR) Protocol for MANETs that is
based on the Location Aided Routing (LAR). EELAR makes significant reduction in
the energy consumption of the mobile nodes batteries by limiting the area of
discovering a new route to a smaller zone. Thus, control packets overhead is
significantly reduced. In EELAR a reference wireless base station is used and
the network's circular area centered at the base station is divided into six
equal sub-areas. At route discovery instead of flooding control packets to the
whole network area, they are flooded to only the sub-area of the destination
mobile node. The base station stores locations of the mobile nodes in a
position table. To show the efficiency of the proposed protocol we present
simulations using NS-2. Simulation results show that EELAR protocol makes an
improvement in control packet overhead and delivery ratio compared to AODV,
LAR, and DSR protocols.Comment: 9 Pages IEEE format, International Journal of Computer Science and

Neighbour coverage: a dynamic probabilistic route discovery for mobile ad hoc networks
Blind flooding is extensively use in ad hoc routing protocols for on-demand route discovery, where a mobile node blindly rebroadcasts received route request (RREQ) packets until a route to a particular destination is established. This can potentially lead to high channel contention, causing redundant retransmissions and thus excessive packet collisions in the network. Such a phenomenon induces what is known as broadcast storm problem, which has been shown to greatly increase the network communication overhead and end-to-end delay. In this paper, we show that the deleterious impact of such a problem can be reduced if measures are taken during the dissemination of RREQ packets. We propose a generic probabilistic method for route discovery, that is simple to implement and can significantly reduce the overhead associated with the dissemination of RREQs. Our analysis reveals that equipping AODV with probabilistic route discovery can result in significant reduction of routing control overhead while achieving good throughput
A Hybrid Model to Extend Vehicular Intercommunication V2V through D2D Architecture
In the recent years, many solutions for Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V)
communication were proposed to overcome failure problems (also known as dead
ends). This paper proposes a novel framework for V2V failure recovery using
Device-to-Device (D2D) communications. Based on the unified Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) architecture, LTE-based D2D mechanisms can improve
V2V dead ends failure recovery delays. This new paradigm of hybrid V2V-D2D
communications overcomes the limitations of traditional V2V routing techniques.
According to NS2 simulation results, the proposed hybrid model decreases the
end to end delay (E2E) of messages delivery. A complete comparison of different
D2D use cases (best & worst scenarios) is presented to show the enhancements
brought by our solution compared to traditional V2V techniques.Comment: 6 page
