We investigate the use of dominating-set neighbor elimination as an integral part of the distribution of route requests using the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol as an example of on-demand routing protocols. We use detailed simulations to show that simply applying dominant pruning (DP) to the distribution of route requests in AODV results in pruning too many route requests in t...

The network topology changes frequently in ad-hoc networks. Some on-demand protocols with multi-paths or backup routes have been proposed to improve the performance in ad-hoc networks. AODV-BR scheme improves AODV routing protocols by constructing a mesh structure and providing multiple alternate routes. The algorithm establishes the mesh and multi-path using the RREP of AODV, which does not tr...

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of wireless nodes communicating with each other without any predetermined topology. In recent years, application domains of wireless ad hoc networks highly affected military and non-military organizations. In this paper, a comparison using NS2 for AODV, DSDV and CBRP is conducted. Metrics of packet delivery fraction and the energy behavior of topo...

This paper presents an algorithm to modify the Ad Hoc OnDemand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol in order to improve the routing performance in motorway surveillance systems. The proposed protocol has all the characteristics of the original AODV routing protocol since it follows all the steps of the route discovery and route maintenance mechanism of the original AODV routing protocol. The...

In this paper, an anomaly detection method in cluster-based mobile ad hoc networks with ad hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol is proposed. In the method, the required features for describing the normal behavior of AODV are defined via step by step analysis of AODV and independent of any attack. In order to learn the normal behavior of AODV, a fuzzy averaging method is used fo...

In this paper, a new routing protocol for Mobile Ad-Hoc networks (MANETs) is presented; the proposed power-hop based Ad-hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV) is named PH-AODV, it uses the node power and the hop count parameters to select the best routing path. This paper compares the performance of the proposed PH-AODV in terms of average delay, average dropped packets and average throughput. Re...
