Devices for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are limited by power and thus routing protocols should be designed with this constrain in mind. This paper presents and evaluates an Energy Efficient Position Based Adaptive Real-Time Routing protocol (EFPBARP) as a novel, real-time, position based and energy efficient routing protocol. EFPBARP is a lightweight protocol that reduces the number of nodes...

Recent developments of wireless communication systems have resulted in the availability of heterogeneous access networks at any geographic area. To make use of this heterogeneous environment for vehicular users to access the Internet, in this article we propose a hybrid multi-technology routing (HMTR) protocol for multihop vehicular networks. HMTR takes into account different combinations of wi...

Flying ad hoc network (FANET) provides portable and flexible communication for many applications possesses several unique design challenges; a key one is the successful delivery of messages to destination, reliably. For reliable communication, routing plays an important role, which establishes path between source destination on basis certain criteria. Conventional protocols FANET generally use ...

In this paper, we present a reactive location routing algorithm with cluster-based flooding for inter-vehicle communication. We consider a motorway environment with associated high mobility and compare position-based and non-position-based routing strategies, along with a limiting function for flooding mechanisms in reactive ad-hoc protocols. The performance of Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and ...

The exchange of information between vehicles is a challenging issue for future Transportation applications. In vehicular Ad-Hoc network, the vehicles are interconnected with each other and they have not any additional infrastructure along the roadside. Vehicular Ad-hoc networks are eminent from other types of Ad-hoc networks. The Ad-hoc network attributed to their features such as infrastructur...
