A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self-organized and adaptive wireless network formed by dynamically gathering mobile nodes. Since the topology of the network is constantly changing, the issue of routing packets and energy conservation become challenging tasks. In this paper, we propose a cross-layer design that jointly considers routing and topology control taking mobility and interference ...

This paper suggests the A-LSEA (Average Link Stability and Energy Aware) routing protocol for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). The main idea behind this algorithm is on the one hand, a node must have enough Residual Energy (RE) before retransmitting the Route Request (RREQ) and declaring itself as a participating node in the end-to-end path. On the other hand, the Link Life Time (LLT) between t...

Conscious aware routing protocol is a novel solution to routing. improving route discovery, network performance and reducing the mobility of the node . For data transmission, the network topology is the major significant for selecting the route to transmits the data packets to reach the destination . The greatest challenges were raised in network topology of mobile wireless sensor networks to r...

Recently, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have drawn a lot of attention due to broad applications in military, civilian wildlife monitoring and disaster management. Sensor networks are composed of large number of densely deployed sensor nodes with limited energy and computation. Since these nodes operate in a physically insecure environment, they are susceptible to various types of attacks. The...

DTN probabilistic routing protocols forwards message to a node that holds high predictability value to meet its destination. However, the message replication continues on the high probable peers while high probable peers continue to receive the transmissions from multiple sources. Such rampant transmissions drain out the battery and node can go to the dead state thus will not be able receive it...

This paper formulates a novel energy-aware utility optimisation (EUO) problem for joint multi-path routing and medium access control (MAC) layer retransmission control in time division multiple access (TDMA)-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs). As the EUO problem is non-convex and inseparable, we propose a heuristic method called Successive Alternating Convex Approximation (SACA) to approxima...

"Satisfying customers' traffic engineering connection requests is one of the biggest challenges of today's service providers. However, routing mechanisms which only consider service level specifications as the path selection criteria may not be aware of energy consumption and Co2 emission rate of the routed paths. This can generate huge Co2 emissions and consume energy inefficiently. This paper...

Resumen—In this paper we propose a new metric, the drain rate, to forecast the lifetime of nodes according to current traffic conditions. This metric is combined with the value of the remaining battery capacity to determine which nodes can be part of an active route. We describe new route selection mechanisms for MANET routing protocols, which we call the Minimum Drain Rate (MDR) and the Condit...

Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) are infrastructure-less, dynamic network of collections of wireless mobile nodes communicating with each other without any centralized authority. A MANET is a mobile device of interconnections through wireless links, forming a dynamic topology. Routing protocols have a big role in data transmission across a network. Routing protocols, two major classifications are...
