Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) consist of a collection of wireless mobile nodes which dynamically exchange data among themselves without the need of fixed infrastructure or a wired backbone network. Due to limited transmission range node to exchange information with any other node in the network. Thus routing is a crucial issue in the design of MANET. On-demand routing protocols for mobile ad ...

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes which moves frequently without the aid of any centralized network and they are self-organized and self-configurable network by a collection of mobile nodes. Due to mobility of nodes, there introduces frequent link failures which lead to increased routing overhead and introduce delay during data transmission. These problems put in f...

This paper presents two hierarchical routing protocols. Hierarchical state routing protocol and Fisheye state routing protocol. The former is a multilevel routing protocol that provides nodes’ clustering in multiple levels, while the latter uses the fisheye technique to reduce the routing overhead. They both employ a hierarchical control structure and try to provide better routing solutions.

In QoS routing, paths for flows are selected based on knowledge of resource availability at network nodes and the QoS requirements of flows. Several QoS routing schemes have been proposed that differ in the way they gather information about the network state and select paths based on this information. We broadly categorize these schemes into best path routing and proportional routing. The best ...

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less and decentralized network which need a robust dynamic routing protocol. Many routing protocols for such networks have been proposed so far to find optimized routes from source to the destination and prominent among them are Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV), and Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSD...

ZigBee provides a simple and reliable solution for the low-cost networks. The ZigBee ad hoc on-demand distance vector (Z-AODV) could use the global shortest path for data transmission by flooding the routing quest when necessary. However, the current routing algorithms cannot fully address the energy consumption issue. In this paper, we propose a directional broadcasting algorithm in routing di...

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a wireless network that uses multi-hop peer to peer routing. A user can move anytime in an ad hoc scenario and, as a result, such a network needs to have routing protocols which can adopt dynamically changing topology. To accomplish this, a number of ad hoc routing protocols have been proposed and implemented such as, Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector routing (...
