Reliable Multicast in Heterogeneous Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

In disaster scenarios, communication infrastructure could be damaged orcompletely failed. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) can be used to substitutefailed communication devices and thus to enable communication. As group communicationis an important part in disaster scenarios, multicast will be used to addressseveral nodes. In this paper, we propose our new reliable multicast protocol RMDA(Reliable Multicast over Delay Tolerant Mobile Ad hoc Networks). We introducean efficient group management approach and a new method for reliable multicastdelivery over Delay Tolerant Networks. We show, that our protocol is adaptive todifferent kinds of MANETs, e.g. with or without clusterheads, respectively. Forthose without, we use our name resolution over adaptive routing approach

Robotic Wireless Sensor Networks

In this chapter, we present a literature survey of an emerging, cutting-edge, and multi-disciplinary field of research at the intersection of Robotics and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) which we refer to as Robotic Wireless Sensor Networks (RWSN). We define a RWSN as an autonomous networked multi-robot system that aims to achieve certain sensing goals while meeting and maintaining certain communication performance requirements, through cooperative control, learning and adaptation. While both of the component areas, i.e., Robotics and WSN, are very well-known and well-explored, there exist a whole set of new opportunities and research directions at the intersection of these two fields which are relatively or even completely unexplored. One such example would be the use of a set of robotic routers to set up a temporary communication path between a sender and a receiver that uses the controlled mobility to the advantage of packet routing. We find that there exist only a limited number of articles to be directly categorized as RWSN related works whereas there exist a range of articles in the robotics and the WSN literature that are also relevant to this new field of research. To connect the dots, we first identify the core problems and research trends related to RWSN such as connectivity, localization, routing, and robust flow of information. Next, we classify the existing research on RWSN as well as the relevant state-of-the-arts from robotics and WSN community according to the problems and trends identified in the first step. Lastly, we analyze what is missing in the existing literature, and identify topics that require more research attention in the future

A Multicast Genetic Routing Protocol Neural Network Approach

Multicast Zone Routing Protocol (GMZRP) is the most promising and widely accepted and well proved hybrid routing protocol in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) for its excellent results when compared in order to load balance the network. with table-driven demand protocols. Improvement of DPMRP is considered using GA and NN approach is considered in this paper. These enhanced protocols are compared with DPMRP and also with each other for same metrics. From the results it is concluded that MGRP (DPMRP), enhanced using GA approach, provides best results. This study is aimed to provide a set of available paths to the destination using the concept of genetic algorithm This gives us the reduction in the overhead, less jitter and better delivery of packets. We call this new routing protocol as Genetic Routing Protocol (GMZRP). Finally, the implementation of proposed genetic GMZRP is compared with Genetic GMZRP, i.e., GMZRP and the result demonstrates better performance from the proposed protocol. Since the method provides a set of paths from nodes to the destination, it results in load balance to the network. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15035

MANET ROUTING PROTOCOLS

Mobile Ad hoc protocol that also could be implemented in VANET protocols is presented. In the literature, there are numerous mobile Ad hoc networks (MANET) routing protocols aiming to find the most suitable path from source to destination. Therefore these protocols should be categorized and classified. This classification helps in understanding, analyzing, comparing, and evaluating the routing protocols. Also, the classification can assist researchers and designers to differentiate the characteristics of the routing protocols and to find the relationships between them. This classification helps in understanding, analyzing, comparing, and evaluating the routing protocols. Also, the classification can assist researchers and designers to differentiate the characteristics of the routing protocols and to find the relationships between them. The routing protocols cannot be included under one category or one classification, therefore, the known characteristics should be listed and the MANET routing protocols classified according to these attributes. In this paper, varies routing protocol classifications are presented that depend on design philosophy, on network structure, or on the routing protocol characteristic (packet casting and network routing metrics).

Shortest Paths Routing Problem in MANETs

The need for communication services is rapidly increasing, because the mobile communication service is synonymous with an ideal communication style realizing communication anytime, anywhere and with anyone. The availability of a path depends on the number of links and the reliability of each link forming the path. Many routing metrics in terms of number of links have been proposed, such as the shortest path routing. Shortest path routing selects a path having minimum cost to forward the data to the destination node. Shortest path routing algorithm selection depends on direct traffic form source to destination, maximizing the network performance and minimizing the cost. Performance of the network can be enhanced through shortest path routing but it also depends upon the functionality of the routing protocol and the parameters that are selected for the shortest path routing. The primary goal of such an adhoc network routing protocol is correct and efficient route establishment between a pair of nodes so that messages may be delivered in a timely manner. Route construction should be done with a minimum of cost, overhead and bandwidth consumption. Some of researchers explored the concept of shortest path routing over ad hoc network. Each one uses his own parameters with different topology. No one uses all parameters. In this paper, we will discuss the solutions ideas that have been proposed by them

EASR: Graph-based Framework for Energy Efficient Smart Routing in MANET using Availability Zones

Energy consumption in MobileAdhoc Network (MANET) is a topic of research from more than a decade. Althoughthere are multiple archival of literatures, that have proposed variousenergy-efficient algorithms for reducing the energy consumption to improveenergy efficiency. Establishing correct and reliable route is important designissue in MANET, but a more challenging goal is to provide energy efficientroute. But, it was observed that majority of such energy efficient routingprotocols just give symptomatic solution which addresses and mitigated theenergy issues overlooking various associated issues like quality of services.Moreover, in majority of research previous studies it is found that AODV andDSDV are highly in adoption rate among the researcher for solving energy issuesusing routing protocols. This manuscript after reviewing some of thesignificant literatures in past explored issues in existing AODV and DSDVand  proposes a novel energy efficientrouting protocols by incorporating a new actor called availability zone. Theproposed model shows better energy efficiency and QoS compared to AODV andDSDV
