The fundamental characteristic which differentiates MANETs from other wireless or wired network is mobility and node density. Mobile Wireless Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) is a network without infrastructure, where every node functions as transmitter, router and data sink. Therefore, MANET routing protocols are designed to adaptively cater for dynamic changes in topology while maximizing throughput a...

In this paper, we evaluate the novel routing protocol for a special class of ad-hoc networks, termed by us the Reconfigurable Wireless Networks (RWNs). The main features of the RWNs are: the increased mobility of the network nodes, the large number of nodes, and the large network span. We argue that the current routing protocols do not provide a satisfactory solution for routing in this type of...

A Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is an autonomous collection of mobile users that communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links. Due to the openness of its nature it is vulnerable to various kinds of threats and malicious nodes are difficult to detect since every node participates in the operation of the network equally. One of the security thread is Black hole attack in which...

The eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the master-equation for zero range process on a ring are found exactly via the Bethe ansatz. The rates of particle exit from a site providing the Bethe ansatz applicability are shown to be expressed in terms of single parameter. Continuous variation of this parameter leads to the transition of driving diffusive system from positive to negative driving throu...

Stochastic mass transport models are usually described by specifying hopping rates of particles between sites of a given lattice, and the goal is to predict the existence and properties of the steady state. Here we ask the reverse question: given a stationary state that factorizes over links (pairs of sites) of an arbitrary connected graph, what are possible hopping rates that converge to this ...

Dispensing with the need for hardwire-based infrastructure, MANET is a self-organized and selfconfigurable network of mobile nodes with wireless connectivity, where the nodes move arbitrarily. Routing is a critical issue in Mobile Adhoc Network. Therefore, Routing protocols for this network have to face the challenge of frequently changing topology. Both proactive and reactive routing protocols...

Over the past several years, there has been considerable research in the area of mobile ad hoc networks. Most of this research has focused on routing and MAC layer issues. As a result, there are several well known routing algorithms for ad hoc networks like DSDV, DSR, AODV, TORA, ZRP. Network services, on the other hand, still do not exist for ad hoc networks. These services are based on some s...
