The high-level contribution of this paper is a simulation-based analysis to evaluate the tradeoffs between lifetime and hop count of link-disjoint, node-disjoint and zone-disjoint multi-path routes vis-à-vis singlepath minimum hop routes for mobile ad hoc networks. The link-disjoint, node-disjoint and zone-disjoint algorithms proposed in this paper can be used to arrive at benchmarks for the ti...

This paper presents a new method for finding the node-disjoint paths with maximum combined bandwidth in communication networks. This problem is an NP-complete problem which can be optimally solved in exponential time using integer linear programming (ILP). The presented method uses a maximum-cost variant of Dijkstra algorithm and a virtual-node representation to obtain the maximum-bandwidth nod...

We investigate the problem of constructing the maximal number of node disjoint paths between two distinct nodes in Swapped/OTIS networks. A general construction of node disjoint paths in any OTIS network with a connected basis network is presented, which is independent of any construction of node disjoint paths in its basis network. This general construction is effective and efficient, which ca...

Identifying a maximal set of node-disjoint paths between a given source and a destination is a challenging task in mobile ad hoc networks. One cannot guarantee to identify the maximal set of node-disjoint paths in a single sequence of request-reply cycle. However, one can guarantee to identify a maximal set of node-disjoint paths in an incremental fashion using multiple route discoveries. In th...
