For unpredictable manner of mobile ad hoc network (manet), due to mobility of nodes in network, the shortest path is not necessarily the better path. If we do not consider the stability of routing path, then wireless links may be easily broken. Hence it is important to find a route that endures a longer time. Recently, efforts in this field have dealt the parameters battery power or trust of a node...
In ubiquitous wireless environment, mobile devices need a more resilient and convenient network communication software. Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) routing protocols are favored in ubiquitous environments due to its self-organization and self-reconstruction characteristics. Routing protocols however, especially the MANET routing protocols, are suffering from the unexpected topology changes and unreliable...
A wireless ad hoc network consists of mobile nodes that are powered by batteries. The limited battery lifetime imposes a severe constraint on the network performance, energy conservation in such a network thus is of paramount importance, and energy efficient operations are critical to prolong the lifetime of the network. All-to-all multicasting is one fundamental operation in wireless ad hoc networks,...
This paper investigates the construction of a multicast tree satisfying Quality of Service (QoS) real-time group communication in a heterogeneous network comprising multiple Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) attached to the backbone Internet. The main objective of our work is to optimize the Delay- and delay Variation Bounded Multicast Tree (DVBMT) problem, which has been proved to be NP-complete. This...
In this paper, we consider the issue of constructing an energy-efficient virtual network backbone in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for broadcasting applications using directional antennas. In directional antenna models, the transmission/reception range is divided into several sectors and one or more sectors can be switched on for transmission. Therefore, data forwarding can be restricted to certain...
We study the routing problem for multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks based on cooperative transmission. We prove that the minimum energy cooperative path (MECP) routing problem, i.e., using cooperative radio transmission to find the best route with the minimum energy cost from a source node to a destination node, is NP-complete. We thus propose a cooperative shortest path (CSP) algorithm that uses...
In wireless ad hoc networks, a clustering structure can be a backbone for efficient communications. Simplicity in communications can be achieved when the clusters can more simply communicate with each other. One way to achieve this is to require that the clusterheads be connected. We would also like to be able to adapt quickly to small changes in the network. In graph-theoretic terminology, a minimum...
