A wireless sensor network is a set of miniature nodes that consume little energy and route information to a base station. It will enable reliable monitoring of a wide variety of phenomena for civilian, military and medical applications. Almost any sensor network application requires some form of self-organisation to route information. Recent years many protocols for network self-organization an...

In IEEE 802.16 Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) routing, delay aware load balancing can be achieved by selecting the shortest path with low latency and network load. But network load and latency together are not considered in most of the existing routing metrics. Here, we propose a delay aware load balanced routing protocol for wireless mesh networks by designing a combined route metric. Initially,...

Kim, HyoJeong. M.S., Purdue University, December, 2003. Performance Evaluation of Route-based Distributed Packet Filtering for DDoS Prevention in Large-scale Networks. Major Professor: Kihong Park. This thesis studies performance evaluation of route-based distributed packet filtering (DPF) for spoofed distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack prevention in large-scale networks under dynamic n...

In wireless sensor networks, the adversary can easily control compromised nodes to inject false data reports. En-route filtering is an effective mechanism resist such attacks, where forwarding of reports identify and drop However, existing en-route strategies are vulnerable report disruption attacks selective probabilities efficiencies low. To address these problems, a precheck performed by CoS...

Numerous works has been done for load balancing of web servers in grid environment. Reason behinds popularity of grid environment is to allow accessing distributed resources which are located at remote locations. For effective utilization, load must be balanced among all resources. Importance of load balancing is discussed by distinguishing the system between without load balancing and with loa...

This paper presents a novel multipath energy aware routing for wireless ad hoc network. A deep analysis of different routing metrics such as MBCR, MMBCR and MDR have been led out and the Minimum Drain Rate metric has been selected as energy metric to integrate in the Multipath DSR protocol. Performance comparison with an energy efficient DSR (DSR-MDR) has been presented showing the benefits of ...

In order to solve the limited energy and low throughput problems of the battery-powered wireless mesh network (WMN), an IEEE 802.11n based multi-radio multi-channel energy balancing and high throughput protocol (EBHT) for battery-powered emergency WMN is presented in this paper. EBHT optimizes the route path planning to achieve the energy balance by taking WMN nodes’ residual energy, client acc...

Inactivity is one of the major health risks in technologically developed countries. This paper explores potential a series urban landscape interventions to engage people physical activity. Online surveys were conducted with 595 participants living UK by inviting them choose between conventional pavement or challenging routes (steppingstones, balancing beams, and high steps) using photorealistic...

Self-organizing ad hoc networks need development of efficient routing protocols in terms of reliable routing and energy conservation. For dense ad hoc networks, Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol is suitable due to its multipoint relaying (MPR) feature. We have tried to make the OLSR energy efficient by making effective neighbor selection based on residual battery energy of a node and...
