Recently, cooperative communications, in the form of having each node equipped with a single antenna and exploit spatial diversity via some relay node's antenna, is shown to be a promising approach to increase data rates in wireless networks. Under this communication paradigm, the choice of a relay node (among a set of available relay nodes) is critical in the overall network performance. In this...
Secure routing is the milestone in mobile ad hoc networks. Ad hoc networks are widely used in military and other scientific areas with nodes which can move arbitrarily and connect to any nodes at will, it is impossible for Ad hoc network to own a fixed infrastructure. It also has a certain number of characteristics which make the security difficult. Routing is always the most significant part for...
ATIM (Ad hoc traffic Indication Message) window can be used effectively to enhance the potential energy savings at static sensors nodes during data dissemination in wireless sensor networks. Doze and awake are two states a sensor node may be in during ATIM window. We consider a traditional wireless sensor network system consisting of resource-rich static sink and resource-constrained multiple static...
We propose a four-layer architecture model (FLAM) to obtain the potential energy savings for sensor nodes in large scale wireless sensor networks. The very first layer, the bottom layer is a network of a resource-constrained sensor nodes deployed in the field. The second layer is ad hoc network formed by resource-rich dynamic sink nodes, also knows as cluster sink nodes. The third layer consists of...
We illustrate the effective use of ATIM (ad hoc traffic indication message) window in static sensors to obtain potential energy savings for sensors during data dissemination in wireless sensor networks. The network consists of resource-rich mobile sink node and resource-constrained sensor nodes forming a square grid. Sink may be multihop away from the sensor nodes and in order to collect the data,...
Optimized link state routing (OLSR) protocol is a table-driven proactive routing protocol for wireless mobile ad hoc networks. The key idea behind this protocol is to reduce the control message overheads by marking subset of neighbors as multi-point relays (MPRs). In this paper, we discuss problems of OLSR or other routing protocols that are due to mobility of nodes. We integrate our solutions to...
Network flows running on a wireless mesh network (WMN) may suffer from partial failures in the form of serious throughput degradation, sometimes to the extent of starvation, because of weaknesses in the underlying MAC protocol, dissimilar physical transmission rates or different degrees of local congestion. Most existing WMN transport protocols fail to take these factors into account. This paper describes...
Security in wireless ad hoc network (WAN) is very important issue. Due to dynamic topology and mobility of nodes, Wireless Ad hoc Networks are more vulnerable to security attacks than conventional wired and wireless networks. Nodes of Wireless Ad hoc Network communicate directly without any central base station. That means in ad hoc network, infrastructure is not required for establishing communication...
In the recent years, wireless technology has enjoyed a tremendous rise in popularity and usage, thus opening new fields of applications in the domain of networking. One such field concerns mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) where the participating nodes do not rely on any existing network infrastructure. By definition, the nature of ad hoc networks is dynamically changing and they have a fully decentralized...
Mobile ad hoc networks remove the dependence on a fixed network infrastructure by treating every available mobile node as an intermediate switch, thereby extending the range of mobile nodes well beyond their base transceivers. Since routing is the backbone of any mobile ad hoc communication, thus if there occur any flaws in the routing, the whole of the communication would come down to a stand still...
This paper presents modification of span for wireless mobile ad hoc networks. Span is an energy efficient coordination algorithm for topology maintenance in wireless ad hoc networks. Each node in span does the local decision on whether to announce for or withdraw from coordinator. We modify coordinator withdrawal procedure of span by adding average speed of node as one of the condition for withdrawing...
This paper presents energy aware greedy routing (EAGR) scheme for wireless ad hoc networks. In this scheme, the cost metric of a node depends on the following parameters of a neighboring node: (1) Distance from the destination, (2) fraction of energy consumed, and (3) rate of energy consumption. When a node has the least cost metric, the packet is forwarded to that node. We evaluate the performance...
