Node Cooperation to Avoid Early Congestion Detection Based on Cross-Layer for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

The resent application of wireless ad hoc networks (WANET) demands a high and reliable data load. The simultaneous transfer of large amounts of data different nearby sources to nearby destinations in a massive network under these circumstances results in the possibility of network congestion. Congestion is an extremely unwanted condition because it creates extra overhead to the already deeply loaded environment, which ultimately leads to resource exhaustion, and can lead to packet drops and retransmission at either the MAC or upper layers. We present a lightweight congestion control and early avoidance congestion control scheme, which can effective control congestion while keeping overhead to a minimum. This scheme is based on the Cross-layer between the MAC and network layers lead to early detection of congestion. With the help of node cooperation the sender node is triggered to find an alternative route based on TMT. This mechanism controls the network resources rather than the data traffic. Detailed performance results show enhancement in the throughput and packet delivery ratio, as well as a reduction in packet drop. Generally, network performance increases

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks: Growth and Survey for Three Layers

A vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a mobile ad hoc network that allows wireless communication between vehicles, as well as between vehicles and roadside equipment. Communication between vehicles promotes safety and reliability, and can be a source of entertainment. We investigated the historical development, characteristics, and application fields of VANET and briefly introduced them in this study. Advantages and disadvantages were discussed based on our analysis and comparison of various classes of MAC and routing protocols applied to VANET. Ideas and breakthrough directions for inter-vehicle communication designs were proposed based on the characteristics of VANET. This article also illustrates physical, MAC, and network layer in details which represent the three layers of VANET. The main works of the active research institute on VANET were introduced to help researchers track related advanced research achievements on the subject
