In our previous work we created a new ad hoc routing protocol MYLAR1, by modifying LAR1 routing protocol. The previous work showed that MYLAR1 routing protocol showed better performance as compared to LAR1 routing protocol in performance parameters such as: end to end delay, throughput, jitter and packets received without error. This paper discusses the comparison of MYLAR1 with other ad hoc ro...

Complex systems such as those in evolution, growth and depinning models do not evolve slowly and gradually, but exhibit avalanche dynamics or punctuated equilibria. Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) and Highly Optimized Tolerance (HOT) are two theoretical models that explain such avalanche dynamics. We have studied avalanche dynamics in two vastly different grid computing systems: Optimal Grid a...

The protocol described in this paper builds and maintains an overlay topology on top of an ad hoc network. The overlay is intended to be used by a routing application. As flooding is a key component of many route discovery mechanisms in MANETs, we evaluate the delivery percentage, bandwidth consumption and time duration of flooding a message on the overlay. We also consider the overlay path str...

One of the critical issues in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is the energy efficiency. The challenge is how to extend the limited lifetime of energy in mobile nodes. We proposed a new approach to minimise the energy consumption called EM-OLSR (Energy Efficiency in MANET by improving OLSR protocol). EM-OLSR is based on the OLSR routing protocol and adds a new energy fairness parameter to the Mult...

This document defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module for configuring and managing the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2). The OLSRv2-MIB module is structured into configuration information, state information, performance information, and notifications. This additional state and performance information is useful for troubleshooting problems and performance iss...

In order to conduct meaningful performance analysis of routing algorithms for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), it is essential that the mobility model on which the simulation is based reflects realistic mobility behavior. However, current mobility models for MANET simulation are either unrealistic or are tailor-made for particular scenarios. We introduce GEMM, a tool for generating mobility mod...

A new Analysis/Synthesis method, named SINOLA, based on “sinusoidal additive” and “OLA/PSOLA” synthesis, is proposed. It allows high quality transformation of both stationnary and non-stationnary parts of a signal. Time-frequency characterization and synthesis parameters estimation is done by a novel method based on spectrum peak shape distortions and time-frequency phase evolutions.

Achieving QoS (Quality of Service) in Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANET) has been a research topic in the last years. In this paper we describe a QoS reservation mechanism for Routing Ad-hoc Networks. The mechanism is targeted for sources requiring a bandwidth allocation. The mechanism is based on the knowledge of the bandwidth requirements of the neighbors of a node and the interferent nodes in th...
