In this paper, we propose a combination between a routing protocol and Hierarchical Location Service (HLS) that we denote Hybrid Routing and Hierarchical Location Service (HRHLS). HLS and a routing protocol used to be combined in the original work with a direct method, i.e. the routing protocol takes care of routing packets and HLS is called to get the destination position when the target node ...

The use of wireless sensor networks in home automation (WSNHA) is attractive due to their characteristics of self-organization, high sensing fidelity, low cost, and potential for rapid deployment. Although the AODVjr routing algorithm in IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee and other routing algorithms have been designed for wireless sensor networks, not all are suitable for WSNHA. In this paper, we propose a ...

Real-time multimedia applications impose strict delay bounds and are sensitive to delay variations. Satellite link handover increases delay jitter and signaling overhead as well as the termination probability of ongoing connections. To satisfy the QoS requirements of multimedia applications, satellite routing protocols should consider link handovers and minimize their effect on the active conne...

An ad hoc network is a wireless and infrastructure less network. Various routing protocols have been discussed so far to improve the routing performance and reliability. A detail study shows that performance of on demand Routing protocols AODV and DSR are better than table driven protocols .AODV and DSR still suffer some short coming problems due to longer set up time in case of link failure an...

We use simulations to study the comparative routing overheads of three ad-hoc routing protocols, namely AODV, DSDV and DSR. In contrast to earlier studies, we focus exclusively on the energy consumption and not on other metrics such as the number of routing packets. In particular, we study the ‘range effects’ of the three protocols, i.e., how changes to the transmission power and transmission r...

| We motivate and formally deene dynamic multipath routing and present the problem of packet forwarding in the multipath routing context. We demonstrate that for multipath sets that are suux matched, forwarding can be eeciently implemented with (1) a per packet overhead of a small, xed-length path identiier, and (2) router space overhead linear in K, the number of alternate paths between a sour...

We motivate and formally define dynamic multipath routing and present the problem of packet forwarding in the multipath routing context. We demonstrate that for multipath sets that are suffis matched, forwarding can be efficiently implemented with (1) a per packet overhead of a small, fixed-length path identifier, and (2) router space overhead linear in K , the number of alternate paths between...

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that dynamically form a network temporarily without any support of central management. Routing in Mobile ad hoc network is extremely challenging because of its limited bandwidth, battery constraints, routing overhead, asymmetric link, speed, scalability, packet loss and quality of services. The widely accepted existing routi...

Wireless ad hoc networks have numerous real life applications as they can be instantaneously established, require no infrastructure, and are autonomic and selforganizing. Multihop connectivity is the ability of the multiple-hops-away nodes—nodes which are not directly connected—to communicate with each other. Since wireless ad hoc networks are infrastructure-less, the participating nodes themse...
