چکیده

Reactive routing protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks usually discover routes by disseminating control packets across the entire network; this technique is known as brute-force flooding. This paper presents NARD, which stands for neighbor-assisted route discovery protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks. In NARD, a source node floods a limited portion of the network searching not only for the destination node, but also for routing information related to other nodes (called destination-neighbors) that were near the destination node recently. Destination-neighbors can be used as anchor points where a second limited flooding takes place in search for the destination node. Because only two limited portions of the network are flooded by control packets near the source and destination nodes, NARD can significantly reduce signaling overhead due to route-discovery compared with other proposals. Simulations with NS-2 were carried out to verify the validity of our approach.

Reliable neighbor based multipath multicast routing in MANETs

In this paper, we propose a scheme for multipath multicast routing in MANETs using reliable neighbor selection (MMRNS) mechanism. MMRNS operates in following phases. (1) Computation of reliability pair factor based on node power level, received differential signal strength between the nodes and mobility, and pruning neighbor nodes that have reliability pair factor lesser than a threshold. (2) D...

Modeling and Analysis of an Intelligent AODV Routing Protocol based on Route Request Retransmission Strategy in MANETs

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is comprised of mobile hosts that communicate with each other using wireless links and based on the peer-to-peer paradigm. A MANET is a selfconfiguring network that can have an arbitrary topology along the time. Each mobile host works as a router and it is free to move randomly and connect to other hosts arbitrarily. Thus, the network topology can change quickly ...

QoS-Aware Multipath Communications over MANETs

To enhance the Quality of service (QoS) communications over mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), this paper proposes QoS-Aware Multipath Routing Protocol (QMRP). Delay is the most crucial factor for multimedia applications which can be minimized by providing more than one path between source-destination pair as well as choosing the path based on the quality in terms of reliability and stability of ...

A Density and Mobility Aware Energy-Efficient Broadcast Route Discovery Strategy for Mobile Ad hoc Networks

We propose a novel network density and mobility aware energy-efficient broadcast route discovery strategy (called DMEF) to determine stable routes in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). During the on-demand route discovery process, each node dynamically chooses its own broadcast transmission range for the Route-Request message depending on the perceived number of neighbor nodes in its default maxi...
