Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is one such technology which plays a pivotal role in our day to day life because of its wide range of applications. A wireless sensor network (WSN) as the name suggests is a wireless network with distributed autonomous devices making use of sensors for monitoring physical as well as environmental conditions. Two main challenges in the field of WSN are efficient e...

An enhanced ad-hoc on-demand distance vector routing (E-AODV) protocol for control system applications in wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs) is proposed. Our routing algorithm is designed by considering both wireless network communication and the control system aspects. Control system error and network delay are the main selection criteria in our routing protocol. The control and com...

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a new method of interaction which involves interaction among vehicles running at high velocities on the roads. Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a most vital class of mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) that makes capable roadside vehicles to intelligently communicate with outside infrastructure and with each other anywhere anytime in the worldwide network. A new...

A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes in which different routing protocols are used to form the communication network. So, far there are numerous routing protocols are discovered in which AODV performs superior than all. Ad-hoc network suffer from the bunch of issues in which congestion and security are the major issues of concern which leads to severe degrada...

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that dynamically form network temporarily without any support central management. Moreover, every node in MANET moves arbitrarily making the multi-hop topology to change randomly at uncertain times. There are several familiar routing protocols like AODV, DSR, and DSDV etc. which have been proposed for providing communication...

AODV is a well-known reactive protocol designed for MANET routing. All MANET routing protocols are designed based on the assumption that all nodes cooperate without maliciously disrupting the operation of the routing protocol. In this paper, we study the performance of AODV routing protocol in the presence of some of the well-defined attacks in MANET. We use NS-2 network simulator to analyse th...

The Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) is an network consisting of wireless mobile nodes without any pre-existing infrastructure or the aid of any centralized administration. MANET is a self configuring network and the topology of the network is dynamic or keeps on changing as the nodes move randomly. MANET is a collection of mobile nodes that move randomly. There are many protocols for such netwo...

In mobile ad hoc networks, there is no fixed infrastructure to observe or assign the resources used by the mobile nodes. The nonexistence of any essential controller makes the routing a versatile one compared to cellular networks. The Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing algorithm is a routing protocol intended for ad hoc mobile devices. Due to quick changes of network structure the ...

AbstrAct: In order to provide quality delivery to delay sensitive applications such as voice and video, it is extremely important that mobile Ad Hoc networks provide quality of service (QoS) support in terms of bandwidth and delay. Most existing routing protocols for mobile Ad Hoc networks (MANETs) are designed to search for the shortest path with minimum hop counts. However, the shortest route...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) as well as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) suffer from various challenges like low bandwidth, overhead and velocity of nodes. This research contribution is the characterization study between MANETs and WSNs environment with respect to various routing protocols. This study investigates the routing protocols corresponding to packet delivery ratio, routing overhead,...
