The common goals of designing a routing algorithm is not only to reduce control packet overhead, maximise throughput and minimise the end-to-end delay, but also take into consideration the energy consumption. Scalability is an important factor in designing an efficient routing protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Three metrics (power consumption, time of transmission and packet loss ra...

Wireless technology is rapidly gaining in popularity for educational institutes, home and business networking. As the wireless technology continues to improve the cost of wireless products continues to decrease. Wireless networks utilize radio waves and/or microwaves to maintain communication channels between computers. There various popular routing protocols available for wireless networks are...

A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a decentralized network of autonomous mobile nodes able to communicate with each other over wireless links. We selected three routing protocols DSDV, DSR and AODV for measuring QoS parameters. We have used the network simulator ns-2 for simulating routing protocols using group mobility model, and present the results of simulations of networks of 40 wireless mo...

Mobile ad hoc networks are envisaged to play a vital role in ubiquitous networking owing to their mobility support without relying on infrastructure-based design. Conversely, the same feature makes routing in these networks challenging as compared to the typical wired networks. As a result typical routing protocols designed for wired networks are not appropriate for these networks. A number of ...

Mobile ad hoc network is a self-directed structure of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. All nodes operate not only as an end system, but also as work as a router to forward the packets. Ad hoc wireless networks are characterized by multi-hop wireless connectivity, infrastructure less and habitually changing topology. It may be necessary for one mobile node to schedule other hosts for fo...

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a distributed and self-organizing network of static and mobile nodes. In MANET, routing protocols are essential to route the packets from source node to the destination node via intermediate nodes. In this paper, performance evaluation of flat routing protocols such as Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV), Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), and Dyn...
