The role of infrastructure-less mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) in ubiquitous networks is outlined. In a MANET there are no dedicated routers and all network nodes must contribute to routing. Classification of routing protocols for MANET is based on how routing information is acquired and maintained by mobile nodes and/or on roles of network nodes in a routing. According to the first classifica...

for last years, the evolution of new issues has incited a great development of the transportation system. in this paper, we discuss ingredients of its (intelligent transportation system) that are inter-vehicle communication (ivc) or what can call vehicular ad hoc networks (vanet), which are special type of manet. we will survey the main issues relevant to vanet in detail with providing a concep...

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a promising technology, which provides the comfort applications and enjoyable drive on the road. To provide safety and accountable network Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, it is essential to design routing protocols in which support VANET environment. Mobile adhoc Network (MANET) offered effective protocols and some of MANET protocols has been used for VA...

In the last years research efforts have been focusing on improving the performance of routing protocols. As a result many types of protocols were developed. These protocols are classified in two areas based on the time the when the routing information is updated, the Proactive Routing Protocols (PRP) and Reactive Routing Protocols (RRP). But non of them fulfill completely all the problems prese...

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.59957 ABSTRACT Mobile ad-hoc network has been used in various areas for data transmission over long distances. These nodes have been configured with different movable equipments. There are two types of routing protocols for data communication that are Proactive and Reactive protocol. Proactive protocols are table driven protocol that selects the route from the routing table ...

The growing interest in Mobile Ad Hoc Network techniques has resulted in many routing protocol proposals. Scalability issues in ad hoc networks are attracting increasing attention these days. In this paper, we will survey the routing protocols that address scalability. The routing protocols we intend to include in the survey fall into three categories: (1) flat routing protocols, (2) hierarchic...

Multicast 1 is one of the best available service models for scalable, many-to-many delivery of data on the Internet. Multicast achieves scalability by letting sources send a packet only once, regardless of the number of receivers. In network-layer multicast, network elements (routers, switches, and so on) replicate packets at network branching points, delivering copies to all interested receive...

In this paper, we present the simulation results of the comparative investigation of the performance of the wireless sensor network routing protocols based on different routing objective: energy-aware routing using PROWLER and RMASE. Our simulation results indicate that the energy-aware routing objective increases the network lifetime for the Adaptive Tree, Constrained Flooding and Real-Time ro...

MANET is a self-organized and self-configurable network where the mobile nodes move arbitrarily. Routing is a critical issue in MANET and hence the focus of this paper along with the performance analysis of routing protocols and growing interest in mobile ad hoc network technique has resulted in many routing protocol proposal. The objective of this paper is to create taxonomy of the mobile ad h...
