Wireless measurement Scheme for bandwidth Estimation in Multihop Wireless Adhoc network

The necessity to bear real time and multimedia application for users of Mobile 1D468;1D485;1D489;1D490;1D484; Network (1D474;1D468;1D475;1D46C;1D47B;) is becoming vital. Mobile 1D468;1D485;1D489;1D490;1D484; network facilitates decentralized network that can present multimedia users with mobility that they have demanded, if proficient 1D478;1D490;1D47A; multicast strategies were developed. By giving the guarantee of 1D478;1D490;1D47A; in 1D468;1D485;1D489;1D490;1D484; network, the proficient bandwidth estimation method plays a very important role. The research paper represented here presents a splendid method for estimating or measuring Bandwidth in 1D468;1D485;1D489;1D490;1D484; network whose character is decentralized in nature. Contrasting in the centralized formation, the bandwidth estimating in 1D468;1D485;1D489;1D490;1D484; is significant and this eventually makes an influence over the 1D478;1D490;1D47A; of the network communication. The admission control and dynamic bandwidth management method which is presented here, facilitates it with fairness and rate guarantees despite the distributed link layer fair scheduling being absent. Alteration has been made over 1D474;1D468;1D46A; layer and this method is appropriate where the peer-to-peer (1D477;1D7D0;1D477;) multimedia transmissions rates are amended in compliantly fashion.In the research work presented here the architecture of the 1D474;1D468;1D46A; layer has been altered and the data handling capacity has been increased. This technique is adopted to facilitate higher data rate transmission and eliminate congestion over the considerednetwork. The proposed technique implements the splitting of 1D474;1D468;1D46A; into two sub layer where one will be responsible for control data transmission while other effectively transmits the data bits. Thus it results into higher data rate transmission with better accuracy and optimized network throughput. The research work in the presented paper exhibits superior accuracy and is very much effective in bandwidth estimation and management application in multi hop Mobile Ad-H

Mobile Ad hoc Networking: Imperatives and Challenges

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent complex distributed systems that comprise wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self-organize into arbitrary and temporary, "ad-hoc" network topologies, allowing people and devices to seamlessly internetwork in areas with no pre-existing communication infrastructure, e.g., disaster recovery environments. Ad hoc networking concept is not a new one, having been around in various forms for over 20 years. Traditionally, tactical networks have been the only communication networking application that followed the ad hoc paradigm. Recently, the introduction of new technologies such as the Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 and Hyperlan are helping enable eventual commercial MANET deployments outside the military domain. These recent evolutions have been generating a renewed and growing interest in the research and development of MANET. This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of this dynamic field. It first explains the important role that mobile ad hoc networks play in the evolution of future wireless technologies. Then, it reviews the latest research activities in these areas, including a summary of MANET\u27s characteristics, capabilities, applications, and design constraints. The paper concludes by presenting a set of challenges and problems requiring further research in the future

Recent Developments on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks and Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks

This book presents collective works published in the recent Special Issue (SI) entitled "Recent Developments on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks and Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks”. These works expose the readership to the latest solutions and techniques for MANETs and VANETs. They cover interesting topics such as power-aware optimization solutions for MANETs, data dissemination in VANETs, adaptive multi-hop broadcast schemes for VANETs, multi-metric routing protocols for VANETs, and incentive mechanisms to encourage the distribution of information in VANETs. The book demonstrates pioneering work in these fields, investigates novel solutions and methods, and discusses future trends in these field

An efficient and fair reliable multicast protocol for 802.11-based wireless LANs

Many applications are inherently multicast in nature. Such applications can benefit tremendously from reliable multicast support at the MAC layer since addressing reliability at the MAC level is much less expensive than handling errors at the upper layers. However, the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer does not support reliable multicast. This void in the MAC layer is a limiting factor in the efficacy of multicast applications. In this work, we propose a Slot Reservation based Reliable Multicast protocol that adds a novel reliability component to the existing multicast protocol in the 802.11 MAC. Our protocol builds on the existing DCF support in the IEEE 802.11 MAC to seamlessly incorporate an efficient reliable multicast mechanism. Intelligent assignment of transmission slots, minimal control packet overhead and an efficient retransmission strategy form the basis of our protocol. We evaluate the performance of our protocol through extensive simulations. Our simulation results show that our protocol outperforms another reliable multicast protocol, Batch Mode Multicast MAC, in terms of delivered throughput in various scenarios. We enhance our protocol to add a fairness component in the presence of parallel unicast and multicast flows and provide unicast friendly multicast operation. We then evaluate the performance of our Slot Reservation Based Reliable Multicast Protocol with Fairness through extensive simulations and see that the scheme ensures fairness among parallel unicast and multicas
