Flooding control in route discovery for reactive routing in mobile ad hoc networks
Routing is a very important function in the network layer of the OSI model for wired and wireless networks. Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are a collection of wireless nodes forming a temporary network that is supposed to be constructed on the fly without infrastructure and prior setup. This fashion of setup demands that the nodes act as routers for other nodes. This necessitates the need of a robust dynamic routing scheme. Routing protocols are classified into three main categories: proactive, reactive, and hybrid. Reactive routing has been the focus of research in recent years due to its control traffic overhead reduction. Reactive routing operation involves three main steps: route discovery, packet delivery, and route maintenance. If a source node, initiating the message, knows the route to the destination, this route is used to transmit the message; otherwise, the source node will initiate a route discovery algorithm to build the route, which highlights the importance of this phase of the on-demand routing process. This thesis work will present a route discovery algorithm that will try to find the route between the sender and the intended receiver in relatively short periods of end-to-end delay, least amount of control traffic overhead, and a loop free path between the two communicating parties. Furthermore, performance comparison between the proposed algorithm and other standard algorithms, namely basic flooding and flooding with self-pruning, will be conducted. The proposed route discovery algorithm can be used in several approaches serving ad hoc network setup, where connectivity establishment and maintenance is important
An Overview of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks for the Existing Protocols and Applications
Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of two or more devices or nodes
or terminals with wireless communications and networking capability that
communicate with each other without the aid of any centralized administrator
also the wireless nodes that can dynamically form a network to exchange
information without using any existing fixed network infrastructure. And it's
an autonomous system in which mobile hosts connected by wireless links are free
to be dynamically and some time act as routers at the same time, and we discuss
in this paper the distinct characteristics of traditional wired networks,
including network configuration may change at any time, there is no direction
or limit the movement and so on, and thus needed a new optional path Agreement
(Routing Protocol) to identify nodes for these actions communicate with each
other path, An ideal choice way the agreement should not only be able to find
the right path, and the Ad Hoc Network must be able to adapt to changing
network of this type at any time. and we talk in details in this paper all the
information of Mobile Ad Hoc Network which include the History of ad hoc,
wireless ad hoc, wireless mobile approaches and types of mobile ad Hoc
networks, and then we present more than 13 types of the routing Ad Hoc Networks
protocols have been proposed. In this paper, the more representative of routing
protocols, analysis of individual characteristics and advantages and
disadvantages to collate and compare, and present the all applications or the
Possible Service of Ad Hoc Networks.Comment: 24 Pages, JGraph-Hoc Journa
Modeling Routing Overhead Generated by Wireless Proactive Routing Protocols
In this paper, we present a detailed framework consisting of modeling of
routing overhead generated by three widely used proactive routing protocols;
Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Fish-eye State Routing (FSR) and
Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR). The questions like, how these protocols
differ from each other on the basis of implementing different routing
strategies, how neighbor estimation errors affect broadcast of route requests,
how reduction of broadcast overhead achieves bandwidth, how to cope with the
problem of mobility and density, etc, are attempted to respond. In all of the
above mentioned situations, routing overhead and delay generated by the chosen
protocols can exactly be calculated from our modeled equations. Finally, we
analyze the performance of selected routing protocols using our proposed
framework in NS-2 by considering different performance parameters; Route
REQuest (RREQ) packet generation, End-to-End Delay (E2ED) and Normalized
Routing Load (NRL) with respect to varying rates of mobility and density of
nodes in the underlying wireless network
Localization and Routing In Multihops Wireless Access Networks
Multihops Wireless Access Networks are ad hoc networks connected to Internet through wireless Access Points. They constitute a logical extension of cellular wireless networks to extend the radio covering area in a spontaneous manner in introducing a collaboration among the nodes. They propose a flexible and cheap infrastructure. A client can be contacted and can contact any other host in the Internet. To reach this goal, we propose a solution of micro-mobility management and routing for such hybrid network. This solution uses a virtual backbone collecting the control traffic and minimizing overheads. The mobility management combines both proactive and reactive approach to propose a trade-off between overheads and delays. When a packet arrives from Internet to the AP, the mobile destination is localized in a reactive way. Inversely, a mobile can initiate a communication to the Internet with a proactive solution, without latency. Some mechanisms of route maintenance without any additional overhead are also proposed
A Review of the Energy Efficient and Secure Multicast Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad hoc Networks
This paper presents a thorough survey of recent work addressing energy
efficient multicast routing protocols and secure multicast routing protocols in
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). There are so many issues and solutions which
witness the need of energy management and security in ad hoc wireless networks.
The objective of a multicast routing protocol for MANETs is to support the
propagation of data from a sender to all the receivers of a multicast group
while trying to use the available bandwidth efficiently in the presence of
frequent topology changes. Multicasting can improve the efficiency of the
wireless link when sending multiple copies of messages by exploiting the
inherent broadcast property of wireless transmission. Secure multicast routing
plays a significant role in MANETs. However, offering energy efficient and
secure multicast routing is a difficult and challenging task. In recent years,
various multicast routing protocols have been proposed for MANETs. These
protocols have distinguishing features and use different mechanismsComment: 15 page
