Overhead impact on ad hoc mobile networks

Clustering Overhead for Hierarchical Routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks

-Numerous clustering algorithms have been proposed that can support routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). However, there is very little formal analysis that considers the communication overhead incurred by these procedures. Further, there is no published investigation of the overhead associated with the recursive application of clustering algorithms to support hierarchical routing. This p...

Transmission Method for Overhead Reduction in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

The Mobile Ad-hoc Networks are wireless networks that have no fixed infrastructure. There are no fixed routers-instead each node acts as router and forwards traffic from other nodes. Since the nodes in a MANET are highly mobile, the topology changes frequently and the nodes are dynamically connected in an arbitrary manner. This work focuses on reliable data packet forwarding in ad hoc networks ...

Cutting Down Routing Overhead in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

An ad hoc network is a P2P network, formed by a collection of wireless mobile hosts requiring no fixed infrastructure. Many on-demand routing algorithms proposed for such kind of networks incur much routing overhead during the route discovery process. This paper presents Band Zone Route Discovery, a new route discovery scheme to cut down the routing overhead. The basic idea of the proposed sche...

Overhead in Mobile Ad-hoc Network Protocols

Estimating Reliability in Mobile ad-hoc Networks Based on Monte Carlo Simulation (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Each system has its own definition of reliability. Reliability in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) could be interpreted as, the probability of reaching a message from a source node to destination, successfully. The variability and volatility of the MANET configuration makes typical reliability methods (e.g. reliability block diagram) inappropriate. It is because, no single structure or configurat...
