Abstract- Efficient message delivery in city environment is required to ensure driver’s safety and passenger’s comfortability. In cities of developed nations, routing of data in vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) faces many challenges such as radio obstacles, mobility constraints and uneven nodes distribution. These factors primarily makes communication between vehicles complex. To overcome and t...

This study presents a forwarding nodes selection scheme for zone-based multicast routing protocols to reduce transmission routing control overhead. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is demonstrated over mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), and compared with the multicast zone routing protocol (MZR) in terms of the routing control overhead and packet delivery ratio. In this work, the proposed s...

We present an information theoretic analysis of the minimum routing overhead incurred for reliable routing of packets using location-based routing. We formulate the minimum routing overhead problem as a rate-distortion problem and derive a lower bound on the minimum routing overhead incurred. We also characterize the deficit in transport capacity caused by the routing overheads. It is observed ...

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANETs) is collection of mobile/semi mobile nodes with no existing pre-established infrastructure, forming a temporary network. Mobile Ad hoc Networks are highly dynamic networks. Quality of Service (QoS) routing in such networks is usually limited by the network breakage due to either node mobility or energy depletion of the mobile nodes. Another issue that effects the Q...

By increasing, the complexity of chips and the need to integrating more components into a chip has made network –on- chip known as an important infrastructure for network communications on the system, and is a good alternative to traditional ways and using the bus. By increasing the density of chips, the possibility of failure in the chip network increases and providing correction and fault tol...

In this paper, we define the routing overhead as the amount of information needed to describe the changes in a network topology. We derive a universal lower bound on the routing overhead in a mobile ad-hoc network. We also consider a prediction-based routing protocol that attempts to minimize the routing overhead by predicting the changes in the network topology from the previous mobility patte...
