Routing protocols are a critical aspect to performance in mobile wireless networks. The development of new protocols requires testing against well-known protocols in various simulation environments. In this paper we present an overview of several well-known MANET routing protocols and the implementation details of the DSDV routing protocol in the ns-3 network simulator. We analyse DSDV routing ...

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has grown vastly in the past few years and pointing out the crucial need for scalable and energy efficient network. Routing in WSN is challenging task because of limited resources of available energy and processing power. On the basis of network structure, routing protocol in WSN can be classified into two different categories such as flat routing and cluster-based...

In the modern era, use of mobile wireless devices is increasing enormously which leads probers to frequently work over the new improvements in mobile ad hoc network i.e. MANET and routing protocols in MANET. The main aim behind this project is to compare the existing Reactive MANET routing protocols by using Opnet17.5 software. The focus of this paper is on reactive routing protocols (AODV and ...

In wireless sensor network, Routing is the process by which the data gathered by sensors is relayed towards the end user (usually termed as sink).A lot of routing protocols have been developed since now and these protocols differ according to network structure and field of application. In this paper, a survey of the routing protocols developed so far in field of WSN is presented. Broadly, routi...

A number of routing protocols has been proposed in recent years for possible use of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks in various application areas such as military, govt. etc. In this paper we have presented a comprehensive review of these protocols with a particular focus on their security aspects. Further we have presented a comparison of some of the existing Routing Protocols of MANETs. The base criter...

Routing for ad-hoc wireless network is challenging, many routing strategies have been proposed in literature. With the availability of affordable Global Position System equipped devices, location-aware routing provides a promising foundation for developing an efficient and practical solution for routing in ad-hoc wireless network. Current geographic forwarding strategies and geographic routing ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is fast becoming a global phenomenon and many issues are arising such as standardization, deployment of IPv6, sensors’ energy requirements and security among others. However, without a secure network routing system IoT nodes will be exposed to malicious activities on the network, data compromises, privacy invasion and even acts of terrorism could be perpetrated via ...

Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are composed of mobile stations communicating through wireless links, without any fixed backbone support. In these networks, limited power energy supply, and frequent topology changes caused by node mobility, makes their routing a challenging problem. TORA is one of the routing protocols that successfully copes with the nodes’ mobility side effects, but it do...

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a self-organizing, temporary, infrastructure-free, multi-hop, dynamic topology wireless network that contains collection of cooperative autonomous freely roaming mobile nodes. The nodes communicate with each other by wireless radio links with no human intervention. Each mobile node functions as a specialized router to forward information to other mobile nodes....

A mobile ad-hoc network is an autonomous collection of mobile nodes that communicate over bandwidth constrained wireless links. Due to nodal mobility, the network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably over time. The routing protocols meant for wired network cannot be used for mobile ad-hoc network because of mobility of network. A number of routing protocols like Destination-Sequenced D...
