We propose MRPC, a new power-aware routing algorithm for energy-efficient routing that increases the operational lifetime of multi-hop wireless networks. In contrast to conventional power-aware algorithms, MRPC identifies the capacity of a node not just by its residualbattery energy,but also by the expected energy spent in reliably forwarding a packet over a specific link. Such a formulation be...

Mobile ad-hoc networks demand routing algorithms able to adapt to network topologies subject to constant change. Moreover, with the advent of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), network nodes tend not only to show increased mobility, but also impose further restrictions to these mobile network systems. These restrictions include non-functional requirements of low-power consumption, small-size, and lo...

The problem of energy efficiency in MANETs can be addressed at different layers. In recent years, many researchers have focused on the optimization of energy consumption of mobile nodes, from different points of view. Some of the proposed solutions try to adjust the transmission power of wireless nodes, other proposals tend to efficiently manage a sleep state for the nodes (these solutions rang...

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in Wireless Sensor Networks. Sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks are energy constrained. Therefore, in WSNs one of the major design challenges is to minimize consumed energy at the sensor nodes. Hence, a number of routing schemes are designed that make efficient use of limited energy of the sensor nodes. Hierarchical routing protocols ...

Energy-aware routing protocols can be classified into two categories, energy savers and energy balancers. Energy saver protocols are used to minimize the overall energy consumed by a wireless sensor network (WSN), while energy balancer protocols efficiently distribute the consumption of energy throughout the network. Energy saver protocols are not necessarily good at balancing energy consumptio...

A mobile wireless infrastructure-less network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any preexisting network infrastructure or centralized administration. However, the battery life of these nodes is very limited, if their battery power is depleted fully, then this result in network partition, so these nodes becomes a critical spot in ...

Multipath routing protocols for Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) addresses the problem of load balancing, scalability, security and life time of networks. In this paper, we propose a new multipath protocol, Stability and Energy Aware Multipath Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (SEAM-AODV) protocol which is an enhancement of Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol. It designs a bi-objective...

The wireless Ad-Hoc network is infrastructure less with nodes in the network area are randomly moving and communicating between nodes while roaming. In this paper we propose the TDMA Based Energy Efficient Quality Of Service Routing Protocol (EAQOSRP). The network scenario is established by considering 1000 X 1000 area and displaying randomly moving nodes using TCL. The resource reservation is ...

A critical need in Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (MWSN) is to achieve energy efficiency during routing as the sensor nodes have scarce energy resource. The nodes’ mobility in MWSN poses a challenge to design an energy efficient routing protocol. Clustering helps to achieve energy efficiency by reducing the organization complexity overhead of the network which is proportional to the number of n...

Cloud computing has recently emerged as a dominant Internet service computing model due to its “pay-as-you-go” and “elastic service” features. Cloud computing systems are usually composed of distributed datacenters, which leverage virtualization technology to provide a scalable and reliable service. Optical networks are recognized as promising next-generation core networks for connecting these ...
