On using Multiple Quality Link Metrics with Destination Sequenced Distance Vector Protocol for Wireless Multi-Hop Networks
In this paper, we compare and analyze performance of five quality link
metrics forWireless Multi-hop Networks (WMhNs). The metrics are based on loss
probability measurements; ETX, ETT, InvETX, ML and MD, in a distance vector
routing protocol; DSDV. Among these selected metrics, we have implemented ML,
MD, InvETX and ETT in DSDV which are previously implemented with different
protocols; ML, MD, InvETX are implemented with OLSR, while ETT is implemented
in MR-LQSR. For our comparison, we have selected Throughput, Normalized Routing
Load (NRL) and End-to-End Delay (E2ED) as performance parameters. Finally, we
deduce that InvETX due to low computational burden and link asymmetry
measurement outperforms among all metrics
Semiclassical Quantum Computation Solutions to the Count to Infinity Problem: A Brief Discussion
In this paper we briefly define distance vector routing algorithms, their
advantages and possible drawbacks. On these possible drawbacks, currently
widely used methods split horizon and poisoned reverse are defined and
compared. The count to infinity problem is specified and it is classified to be
a halting problem and a proposition stating that entangled states used in
quantum computation can be used to handle this problem is examined. Several
solutions to this problem by using entangled states are proposed and a very
brief introduction to entangled states is presented.Comment: 5 pages, revtex, draft version, a quick and brief discussion,

Identifying Design Requirements for Wireless Routing Link Metrics
In this paper, we identify and analyze the requirements to design a new
routing link metric for wireless multihop networks. Considering these
requirements, when a link metric is proposed, then both the design and
implementation of the link metric with a routing protocol become easy.
Secondly, the underlying network issues can easily be tackled. Thirdly, an
appreciable performance of the network is guaranteed. Along with the existing
implementation of three link metrics Expected Transmission Count (ETX), Minimum
Delay (MD), and Minimum Loss (ML), we implement inverse ETX; invETX with
Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) using NS-2.34. The simulation results show
that how the computational burden of a metric degrades the performance of the
respective protocol and how a metric has to trade-off between different
performance parameters
Routing Diverse Evacuees with Cognitive Packets
This paper explores the idea of smart building evacuation when evacuees can
belong to different categories with respect to their ability to move and their
health conditions. This leads to new algorithms that use the Cognitive Packet
Network concept to tailor different quality of service needs to different
evacuees. These ideas are implemented in a simulated environment and evaluated
with regard to their effectiveness.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure
