Wireless Mesh Networks provide an organisation or a community with the means to extend or create a network independent of infrastructure. However, the network’s dynamic topology along with the fact that devices in the network might be mobile and move randomly, brings to light various kind of problems on the network, with the most common being the routing. In this report, the problem of routing ...

Designing a routing protocol that can adapt to the changes in the underlying network conditions, as well as incorporating a minimum overhead is a challenging task for ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we present the Weighted Critical Path Routing (WCPR) protocol that strives to incorporate the merits of reactive and proactive ad hoc routing schemes. The aim of our work is to achieve low latency b...

Abstruct-QoS-constrained routing is considered as one of the key components to support quality of service in next-generation data networks. However, optimal routing problem subject to multiple constraints is NPhard in general. In this paper we propose a technique called “smart forwarding” which can be used in both distributed hop-by-hop QOS routing and centralized source-based routing. It enabl...

This paper presents the performance of Integrated Bacterial Foraging Optimization and Particle Swarm Optimization (IBFO_PSO) technique in MANET routing. The BFO is a bioinspired algorithm, which simulates the foraging behavior of bacteria. It is effectively applied in improving the routing performance in MANET. In results, it is proved that the PSO integrated with BFO reduces routing delay, ene...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel zone-based routing protocol for wireless mobile ad hoc networks, which is named as Reactive Zone-based Routing Protocol (RZRP). The main objective of this protocol is to reduce the traffic overhead caused by proactively maintaining local or global neighbourhood routing information and frequent gateway node elections in high mobility and large-scale network ...

| In this paper, we report on an implementation of QoS routing extensions to the OSPF protocol, and on various performance measurements made on the basis of this implementation to assess the cost and feasibility of QoS routing in IP networks. The results provide insight into the respective weights of the two major components of QoS routing costs, processing cost and protocol overhead and establ...

Delivering QoS in large scale networks is an important issue. We introduce sensible routing networks. In these networks, the packets make self-routing decisions based only on local information. Hence, the amount of information is independent of the size of the network. Sensible routing allows QoS goals for large scale networks to be met with less transmission overhead than active routing algori...

New technologies and communication standards have changed traditional network processes. Internet of Things (IoT) is one the emerging where devices are connected to facilitate users. When networks more congested due a large number users then existing routing protocol channels suffer from congestion, disconnection, overhead, packet drop issues. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) adopted support gro...

With the development of wireless technology, two basic network models that are commonly used, known as infrastructure and ad hoc networks (WANETs), have been developed. In literature, it has observed channel contention is one main reasons for packet drop in WANETs. To handle this problem, paper presents a routing protocol named CCBR (Channel Contention Based Routing). tries to determine least c...

Localization protocol is important for estimating node positions in a wireless multi-hop network. Routing protocol is also important for controlling paths. In previous research, localization and routing protocols have been discussed and evaluated separately. In this paper, we propose an integrated protocol for optimized link state routing (OLSR) and OLSR based localization (ROULA). Our protocol...
