Effective Route Maintenance and Restoration Schemes in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

This study proposes a location-based hybrid routing protocol to improve data packet delivery and to reduce control message overhead in mobile ad hoc networks. In mobile environments, where nodes move continuously at a high speed, it is generally difficult to maintain and restore route paths. Therefore, this study suggests a new flooding mechanism to control route paths. The essence of the proposed scheme is its effective tracking of the destination’s location based on the beacon messages of the main route nodes. Through experiments based on an NS-2 simulator, the proposed scheme shows improvements in the data packet delivery ratio and reduces the amount of routing control message overhead compared with existing routing protocols such as AODV, LAR, ZRP and AODV-DFR

An energy efficient routing scheme by using GPS information for wireless sensor networks

In the process of transmission in wireless sensor networks (WSN), a vital problem is that a centre region close to the sink will form in which sensors have to cost vast amount of energy. To communicate in an energy-efficient manner, compressed sensing (CS) has been employed gradually. However, the performance of plain CS is significantly dependant on the specific data gathering strategy in practice. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient data gathering scheme based on regionalisation CS. Subsequently, advanced methods for practical applications are considered. Experiments reveal that our scheme outperforms distributed CS, the straight forward and the mixed schemes by comparing different parameters of the data package, and the considered methods also guarantee its feasibility.N/

DMP: Detouring Using Multiple Paths against Jamming Attack for Ubiquitous Networking System

To successfully realize the ubiquitous network environment including home automation or industrial control systems, it is important to be able to resist a jamming attack. This has recently been considered as an extremely threatening attack because it can collapse the entire network, despite the existence of basic security protocols such as encryption and authentication. In this paper, we present a method of jamming attack tolerant routing using multiple paths based on zones. The proposed scheme divides the network into zones, and manages the candidate forward nodes of neighbor zones. After detecting an attack, detour nodes decide zones for rerouting, and detour packets destined for victim nodes through forward nodes in the decided zones. Simulation results show that our scheme increases the PDR (Packet Delivery Ratio) and decreases the delay significantly in comparison with rerouting by a general routing protocol on sensor networks, AODV (Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector), and a conventional JAM (Jammed Area Mapping) service with one reroute
