Cache timeout strategies for on-demand routing in MANETs

Varying the route caching scheme can significantly change network performance for on-demand routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Initial route caching schemes retain paths or links until they are shown to be broken. However, stale routing information can degrade network performance with latency and extra routing overhead. Therefore, more recent caching schemes delete links at some fixed time after they enter the cache. This paper proposes using either the expected path duration or the link residual time as the link cache timeout. These mobility metrics are theoretically calculated for an appropriate random mobility model. Simulation results in NS2 show that both of the proposed link caching schemes can improve network performance in the dynamic source routing protocol (DSR) by reducing dropped data packets, latency and routing overhead, with the link residual time scheme out-performing the path duration scheme.IEEE, South Australian Sectio

Performance Analysis of Dynamic Source Routing Protocol

Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) is an efficient on-demand routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET). It depends on two main procedures: Route Discovery and Route Maintenance. Route discovery is the procedure used at the source of the packets to discover a route to the destination. Route Maintenance is the procedure that discovers link failures and repairs them. Route caching is the sub procedure serviceable to avoid the demand for discovering a route or to reduce route discovery delay before every data packet is sent. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the performance of DSR. Different performance expressions are investigated including, delivery ratio, end to-end delay, and throughput, depending on different cache sizes and different speeds. All of that as a study to develop a new caching strategy as a future work.Comment: 4 page

On the realization of VANET using named data networking: On improvement of VANET using NDN-based routing, caching, and security

Named data networking (NDN) presents a huge opportunity to tackle some of the unsolved issues of IP-based vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). The core characteristics of NDN such as the name-based routing, in-network caching, and built-in data security provide better management of VANET proprieties (e.g., the high mobility, link intermittency, and dynamic topology). This study aims at providing a clear view of the state-of-the-art on the developments in place, in order to leverage the characteristics of NDN in VANET. We resort to a systematic literature review (SLR) to perform a reproducible study, gathering the proposed solutions and summarizing the main open challenges on implementing NDN-based VANET. There exist several related studies, but they are more focused on other topics such as forwarding. This work specifically restricts the focus on VANET improvements by NDN-based routing (not forwarding), caching, and security. The surveyed solution herein presented is performed between 2010 and 2021. The results show that proposals on the selected topics for NDN-based VANET are recent (mainly from 2016 to 2021). Among them, caching is the most investigated topic. Finally, the main findings and the possible roadmaps for further development are highlighted

QoS routing in ad-hoc networks using GA and multi-objective optimization

Much work has been done on routing in Ad-hoc networks, but the proposed routing solutions only deal with the best effort data traffic. Connections with Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, such as voice channels with delay and bandwidth constraints, are not supported. The QoS routing has been receiving increasingly intensive attention, but searching for the shortest path with many metrics is an NP-complete problem. For this reason, approximated solutions and heuristic algorithms should be developed for multi-path constraints QoS routing. Also, the routing methods should be adaptive, flexible, and intelligent. In this paper, we use Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and multi-objective optimization for QoS routing in Ad-hoc Networks. In order to reduce the search space of GA, we implemented a search space reduction algorithm, which reduces the search space for GAMAN (GA-based routing algorithm for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks) to find a new route. We evaluate the performance of GAMAN by computer simulations and show that GAMAN has better behaviour than GLBR (Genetic Load Balancing Routing).Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Ant-based evidence distribution with periodic broadcast in attacked wireless network

In order to establish trust among nodes in large wireless networks, the trust certicates need to be distributed and be readily accessible. However, even so, searching for trust certicates will still become highly cost and delay especially when wireless network is suering CTS jamming attack. We believe the individual solution can lead us to solve this combination problems in the future. Therefore, in this work, we investigate the delay and cost of searching a distributed certicate and the adverse eects of fabiricated control packet attacks on channel throughput and delivery ratio respectively, and propose two techniques that can improve the eciency of searching for such certicates in the network and mitigate the CTS jamming attack's eect. Evidence Distribution based on Periodic Broadcast (EDPB) is the rst solution we presented to help node to quickly locate trust certicates in a large wireless sensor network. In this solution, we not only take advantages from swarm intelligence alogrithm, but also allow nodes that carrying certicates to periodically announce their existence. Such announcements, together with a swarm-intelligence pheromone pdate procedure, will leave traces on the nodes to lead query packets toward the certicate nodes. We then investigate the salient features of this schema and evaluate its performance in both static and mobile networks. This schema can also be used for other essential information dissemination in mobile ad hoc networks. The second technqiue, address inspection schema (AIS) xes vulnerabilities exist in distribution coordinating function (DCF) dened in IEEE 802.11 standard so that each node has the ability to beat the impact of CTS jamming attack and furthermore, benets network throughput. We then perform ns-2 simulations to evaluate the benet of AIS

An Effective Service Mechanism to Achieve Low Query Latency along with reduced Negative Acknowledgement in iVANET: An Approach to Improve Quality of Service in iVANET

The Internet Based vehicular ad hoc network (iVANET) combines a wired Internet and vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) for developing a new generation of ubiquitous communicating. The Internet is usually applied in vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) solution whereas ad hoc networks are used in vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication. Since vehicular networks is characterized by High speed dynamically changing network topology The latency is one of the hot issues in VANET which is proportional to the source-&-remote vehicle distance and the mechanism involved in accessing source memory. If the distance between data source and the remote vehicle is wittily reduced by using redefined caching technique along with certain cache lookup mechanism, the latency is likely to be reduced by a significant factor in iVANET. This paper studies and analyzes various cache invalidation schemes including state of art ones and come with a novel idea of fructifying network performance within the purview of query latency and negative acknowledgement in iVANET. In this paper the roles of the mediatory network component are redefined with associative service mechanism which guarantees reduced query latency as well as minimizes negative acknowledgements in iVANET environment

The Road Ahead for Networking: A Survey on ICN-IP Coexistence Solutions

In recent years, the current Internet has experienced an unexpected paradigm shift in the usage model, which has pushed researchers towards the design of the Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm as a possible replacement of the existing architecture. Even though both Academia and Industry have investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of ICN, achieving the complete replacement of the Internet Protocol (IP) is a challenging task. Some research groups have already addressed the coexistence by designing their own architectures, but none of those is the final solution to move towards the future Internet considering the unaltered state of the networking. To design such architecture, the research community needs now a comprehensive overview of the existing solutions that have so far addressed the coexistence. The purpose of this paper is to reach this goal by providing the first comprehensive survey and classification of the coexistence architectures according to their features (i.e., deployment approach, deployment scenarios, addressed coexistence requirements and architecture or technology used) and evaluation parameters (i.e., challenges emerging during the deployment and the runtime behaviour of an architecture). We believe that this paper will finally fill the gap required for moving towards the design of the final coexistence architecture.Comment: 23 pages, 16 figures, 3 table
