In delay tolerant networks (DTNs), delay is inevitable; thus, making better use of buffer space to maximize the packet delivery rate is more important than delay reduction. In DTNs, epidemic routing is a well-known routing protocol. However, epidemic routing is very sensitive to buffer size. Once the buffer size in nodes is insufficient, the performance of epidemic routing will be drastically reduced...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) usually consist of small cheap sensors and they are extensively used for many applications including environment monitoring. In this paper, we focus on the problem that node density in a randomly deployed WSN differs region by region. In other words, sensor nodes are deployed non-uniformly over the network. Such a non-uniform topology makes clustering protocols less...
Recently, vehicular sensor networks (VSNs) have emerged as a new wireless sensor network paradigm that is envisioned to revolutionize driving experiences and traffic control systems. Many existing routing protocols for VSNs have good performance on data routing in a city environment. In this paper, we propose a traffic control aware routing for VSNs, which is called PUT. It considers two modules of...
Multihop data delivery in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) suffers from the fact that vehicles are highly mobile and inter-vehicle links are frequently disconnected. In this paper, we propose a multihop vehicle-to-infrastructure routing protocol named Vertex-Based Predictive Greedy Routing (VPGR), which predicts a sequence of valid vertices (or junctions) from a source vehicle to fixed infrastructure...
This paper proposes a link quality aware routing protocol for MANETs resulting in robust delivery and high performance by finding out a reliable path with strong links. During route discovery, the strong links are effectively exploited by forwarding the route request (RREQ) packet with the highest link quality or signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) among the multiple RREQ packets received...
In sensor networks, clustering protocol such as LEACH is an efficient method to increase whole networks lifetime. However, this protocol result in high energy consumption at the cluster head node. Hence, this protocol must changes the cluster formation and cluster head node in each round to prolong the network lifetime. But this method also causes a high amount of energy consumption during the set-up...
