This article presents simulation results for a mobile ad-hoc network running Dynamic Source Routing reactive protocol under the conditions of limited availability and heightened response times of network nodes. Authors conclude that dynamic source routing stops being efficient in large networks and propose a hybrid routing protocol that includes the proactive phase and uses availability criterion...
Since our research to study mobility, we noted that the best way to represent the mobility of sensor nodes is to follow a mobility model. Numerous models have been proposed in the literature, they are commonly used as a data source in all kinds of studies, including motion in several networks. To this end, we propose to exploit this mobility, which results in the proposal of a new approach based on...
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) differ from the traditional Mobile Ad Hoc networks (MANETs) in that DTNs are not always interconnected. The issue of routing data in a DTN is considered here. Many routing protocols exist for DTNs. Some are based on comparing nodes to each other, whereas others focus on the internal properties of the messages they hold. There are wide ranges of protocols, and they perform...
The recent spread of mobile networks has paved the way for building a pervasive social networking (PSN) environment, which enables people to access social networking services (SNS) anytime and from anywhere. There have been extensive studies on MANETs (Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks), which use mobile terminals for relaying information. While the feasibility of using them as emergency networks in the aftermath...
Mobile tactical networks (MTNs) in military communications extend the capabilities of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). The MTNs are dynamic, infrastructureless, self-forming and self-healing systems designed for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) operations using multi-hop relaying. Unlike their commercial counterparts, MTNs have to offer much higher levels of security, jamming resistance, and service robustness...
Available smartphone« and smart objects can use short range connections like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as a communication technique to exchange information with nearby devices. Those techniques are used in cases of absent end-to-end connection such as in Delay Tolerant or Opportunistic Networks. The study of message transmission processes and contact information in such networks has gained more attention...
In some special circumstances, e.g. tsunamis, floods, battlefields, earthquakes, etc., communication infrastructures are damaged or non-existent, as well as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cluster. For the communication between people or UAVs, UAVs or mobile smart devices (MSDs) can be used to construct Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), and Multipath TCP (MPTCP) can be used to simultaneously transmit...
In recent years, dramatic growth of mobile data traffic has left the operators no choice but to consider Wi-Fi networks as an economic complementary solution. To achieve this, WLANs require to adopt some of the key features of carrier-grade operators, such as centralized resource management. As an emerging paradigm, Software Defined Networking (SDN) can be used to provide salient centralized network...

In opportunistic networks, forwarding based protocols lead to a large amount of data flow to the highly connected nodes and unfairness of the nodes' traffic load, finally, it makes the highly connected nodes suffer congestion and results in the messages were discarded. To solve this problem, a congestion control algorithm based on Social Awareness is proposed in this paper. When choosing the next...
Dynamicity and infrastructure-less nature of MANETs expose the routing in such networks to a variety of attacks, and moreover, make the conventional fixed policy routing algorithms inefficient. To deal with the routing challenges and varying behavior of malicious nodes in such networks, employing reinforcement learning algorithms and proper trust models seem promising. In this paper, we introduce...
In this work we investigate the performance of Ad-hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV), Dynamic source routing (DSR), Temporary ordered routing (TORA), Optimized link state routing (OLSR) and Geographic routing (GRP) protocols in wireless ad-hoc networks by using OPNET simulation program. In ad-hoc networks consisting of fixed and mobile stations, routing protocols are compared for different...
The increasing number of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles on the road leads to an increasing need for external vehicle communication, in particular through emerging vehicular ad hoc networks also known as VANETs. This technology has the ability to facilitate intelligent transportation applications, comfort and other required services for self-driving vehicles. However, suitable routing protocols...
The design of routing protocol in mobile social delay tolerant networks is a tricky issue due to lack of stable end-to-end path, frequent link disconnection and changeable network topology. This paper proposes a novel routing algorithm based on dynamic topological potential and social relationship (DTPSR) between nodes for mobile social delay tolerant networks. In DTPSR, we define three metrics to...
In this paper the performance analysis of a routing algorithm for MANETs called Service Zone Gateway Prediction (SZGP) is presented. This is a non-cooperative and hybrid type of routing with a hierarchical multilayered structure, incorporating pre-computed multipath hop-by-hop distributed connectivity. The goal is balance of the load among the nodes and reliable and energy efficient communication...
The efficiency of inter-domain routing in large-scale mobile network environments is a critical issue, as traditional prefixed addresses may fail due to the dynamic topologies of mobile networks, where devices would be required to maintain massive routing tables. To address this issue, in this paper we leverage the principles of probabilistic data structures in the inter-domain routing scheme, and...
When two nodes in an opportunistic network meet, a utility function is generally employed to select the data that have to be exchanged between them, in order to maximize the chance of message delivery and to minimize congestion. The utility function computes weighted sums of various parameters, such as node centrality, similarity, trust, etc. Most of the existing solutions pre-compute the weights...
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are sparse mobile ad-hoc networks in which there is typically no complete path between the source and destination. Anycast is an important group communication paradigm for numerous DTN applications such as resource discovery and information exchange in emergency or crisis situations. Unlike unicast and multicast, which have been studied extensively in DTNs, few prior...
Mobile social network (MSN) is a type of delay tolerant network explicitly considering social characteristics of the terminal nodes. The existing Ad Hoc routing protocols assume that there is at least one complete communication path between the source node and the target node. So they cannot be applied to MSN directly. The key to solve the problem of content distribution in mobile social network is...
Internet of Things (IoT) interconnects billions of smart sensors, devices, actuators, as well as people, over a distributed environment to work together towards a better and smarter physical world. However, technologies are still under development to allow us to most effectively make use of the ubiquitous "smart things" to accomplish the desired goals in various human activities. Service...
