-Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are the set of wireless nodes that can communicate with each other and forwarding each other’s packets. WMNs are multi-hop networks consisting of routers, gateways and mobile nodes, they aim at guarantee connectivity. They act as a key technology for next generation WMNs due to their low cost and relative ease of deployment they are an attractive paradigm and are ...

In this paper, we present path loss model for VANETs and simulate three routing protocols; Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) and Dynamic MANET On-demand (DYMO) to evaluate and compare their performance using NS-2. The main contribution of this work is enhancement of existing techniques to achieve high efficiency of the underlying networks. After e...

In recent years, wireless sensor networks have drawn great attention. This type of network is composed of a large number of sensor nodes which are able to sense, process and communicate. Besides, they are used in various fields such as emergency relief in disasters, monitoring the environment, military affairs and etc. Sensor nodes collect environmental data by using their sensors and send them...

The advent of grassroots content distribution systems (e.g., Gnutella, FreeNet, Napster, Oceanstore) indicates the need for a distributed data location algorithm [HBMKK00, Cla00, Fan00, K+00a]. In this paper we investigate three methods of data location: distance-vector routing and link-state vector routing using Bloom filters, and a naive cache sharing algorithm. These data location methods ar...

Efficient routing protocols can provide significant benefits to mobile ad hoc networks in terms of both performance and reliability. Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less and decentralized network which need a robust dynamic routing protocol. Many routing protocols for such networks have been proposed so far. Amongst the most popular ones are Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad-h...

Efficient routing protocols can provide significant benefits to mobile ad hoc networks in terms of both performance and reliability. Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less and decentralized network which needs a very strong dyNAMic routing protocol. There are many routing protocols available for such networks and many have been proposed so far. Amongst the most popular ones are...

Vehicular Ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are a subset of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks made by vehicles communicating among themselves on roadways. The Routing protocols implemented for MANETs such as Ad-hoc on Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and Destination Sequence Distance Vector Routing Protocol (DSDV) are not suitable for VANET due to high Mobility. Trusted...

The most important and emerging characteristic of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), which differentiates them from other wired wireless area networks, is mobility. Therefore, the routing protocols for WBAN are designed in such a way that they can deal with dynamic changes topology provide maximum throughput, packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, minimum energy consumption. Thus, a...

This research work denotes a novel evaluation of LOADng the routing protocol for Wireless Sensor Network. The LOADng protocol implementation is a part of ITU-T G.9903 recommendation based on the framework of the LLN On-demand Ad hoc Distance-vector Routing Protocol Next Generation (LOADng) proposed by IETF specified by the IETF Internet-Draft draft-clausen-lln-loadng-11 and currently still in i...
