At present, Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) have become a hot research field, in view that the mobile nodes have the characteristics of mobility, limited energy, limited storage space and so on. Thus to design a simple and high-efficiency routing protocol is an important issue. AODV routing protocol can resolve the routing problem of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, but it still has many shortcomings, su...

Recently multicast routing protocols in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are emerging for wireless group communication. This includes application such as multipoint data dissemination and multiparty conferencing which made the analytical design and development of the MANETs in a very efficient manner. For MANETs there are several multicast routing protocols are available, but they perform well u...

Routing in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks is a challenging task due to the unique characteristics of the network such as high mobility of nodes, dynamically changing topology and highly partitioned network. It is a challenge to ensure reliable, continuous and seamless communication in the presence of speeding vehicles. The performance of routing protocols depends on various internal factors such as ...

We propose a routing protocol for wireless networks. Wireless routing protocols allow hosts within a network to have some knowledge of the topology in order to know when to forward a packet (via broadcast) and when to drop it. Since a routing protocol forms the backbone of a network, it is a lucrative target for many attacks, all of which attempt to disrupt network traffic by corrupting routing...

This paper deals with simulation of the broadcast authentication protocols using Coloured Petri Nets (CPN). CPN is a special instance of an orientated graph which enables to describe data flows and information dependencies inside of modeled systems. Protocol DREAM was taken as an example of broadcast authenticating protocol to show how Colour Petri Nets can be used to create a fully functional ...

The directed flood-routing framework (DFRF) for wireless sensor networks is introduced in this paper that allows the modeling and rapid development of application specific routing protocols based on directed flooding. Flood-routing protocols are probabilistic methods that make only the best effort to route data packets. The presented family of protocols can route regular sized data packets via ...

The Beacon-Less Routing protocol (BLR) is a positionbased routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks that makes use of location information to reduce routing overhead. However, unlike other position-based routing protocols, BLR does not require nodes to periodically broadcast hello messages and thus avoids drawbacks such as extensive use of scarce battery-power, interferences with regular data...

A new approach to broadcast in wormhole-routed two-and three-dimensional torus networks is proposed. The approach extends the concept of dominating sets from graph theory by accounting for the relative distance-insensitivity of the wormhole routing switching strategy and by taking advantage of an all-port communication architecture. The resulting broadcast operation is based on a tree structure...
