Wireless mesh network (WMN) is a peculiar type of growing technology that can alter the world more effectively in the coming decades. Multicast routing in mesh networks is the distribution of data from a single source to multiple destinations or multiple sources to multiple destinations through the intermediate nodes. There can be many numbers of intermediate nodes between source and destination....
A Mobile Ad-hoc networks (MANETs) is composed of Mobile Nodes without any fixed infrastructure. Multicast routing in mobile Ad-hoc networks (MANETs) have many defiance due to implicit characteristics of the network such as node mobility, reliability, finite network resources etc. So, in this paper we have introduced a new scheme to improve the performance and efficiency of multicast routing protocols...
It is a paradigm shift in internet architecture from receiver centric model to the information centric networking (ICN) model to improve the end-users' latency experience. With exponential increment in number of users and data volume, efficient usage of the nodes (caches) and content forwarding methodology are key issues in an ICN architecture. In ICN intra-domain routers have storage capacity and...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) come across various challenges when it comes to its design and operations which cause major degradation in their performance. With increasing number of applications having their own different limitations, make the challenge of application expectations even greater for such resource limited networks. These challenges appear at different layers of WSNs starting from physical...
This paper proposes a Hybrid Routing(HR) using ZigBee Tree Routing(ZTR) and Shortcut Tree Routing(STR). ZTR transmits a data through the parent node and the child node, and STR transmits a data to neighbor node which has the smallest number of hops toward the destination node in the neighbor table. On the other hand, HR method uses either ZTR or STR method according to situation of collision of CAP...
Increasing generated data volume and the rare bandwidth resource make the data delivery through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) a preferred mode for vehicular networks. However, in the urban vehicular environment, the traffic density information collected by the densely deployed cameras along the road were not used efficiently on the design of the data delivery policy. In this paper, a strategy for the decision...
Wireless Sensors Networks (WSNs) are susceptible to many security threats, and because of communication, computation and delay constraints, traditional security mechanisms cannot be used. When trust system is established, the route from source node to destination node should consider nodes' trust on the road but not only QoS. In this paper, we propose a routing model in trust WSNs with respect to...
Exploiting multi-user diversity (MUD) for multicast consists in choosing the data rate(s) utilized to serve a number of users who have different channel qualities. Some of the proposed multicast schemes aim to maximize the throughput (e.g. EMTH), while others seek to reduce the transmission time (e.g. EMTT). Actually, it is well known that the process of computing the accurate MUD multicast throughput...
There exist numerous routing protocols proposed to allow efficient routing in the network where the end-to-end paths are spontaneously unstable. Such networks are termed as Delay-tolerant-networks (DTNs). The existing famous routing protocols still remain important issues that need to be solved. For example, Epidemic quickly drains the resources of the network; PROPHET causes the unbalanced traffic...
End-to-end delay is an important QoS parameter in wireless sensor networks. The term end-to-end delay is the total amount of time taken for transmission of data to reach the destination. The parameter which causes end-to-end time delay in the wireless sensor network includes length of the path i.e. the number of repeaters and the congestion along the route. In this paper, main focus is end-to-end...
Efficient energy consumption and management are very crucial in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) because the sensor nodes are typically resource constrained. Proper designs of various network functions are important not only to prolong the life of a node but also to enable the network to deliver the necessary services with some assurance. In this paper, we use game theory to propose an efficient routing...
To guarantee the required quality of service and quality of experience in Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), the server must have the required capacity and resources to serve all the clients' requests. One of the most important resources is the bandwidth. The flexibility of IPTV services which provide users to stream multimedia contents at anytime and anywhere they want makes the demand for video-on-demand...
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a collection of large number of sensors with low-power transceivers effectively used for collecting data in various applications like environmental monitoring, healthcare, civil and military applications. Efficient data transmission protocols are required to reduce transmission delay and energy of sensors to increase lifetime of sensor nodes. Recent researches in WSNs...
Cloud service based on data center (DC) has become an attractive choice for abundant applications. Generally, DCs are distributed at different nodes across a given optical network, and users access DCs through predefined routes. From the perspective of service providers, it is important to offer reliable cloud service while taking service delay and service cost into consideration. In this paper, we...
Route discovery and maintenance in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a problem of long standing interest. In ad-hoc networks the Ad-hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol assumes that discovered route is optimal and transmits data on it for the entire data session, whereas due to dynamic topology nodes change position dynamically, the optimum route may change. Thus, node mobility may give rise...
Content distribution schemes for Video on Demand (VoD) systems, based on the peer-to-peer (P2P) technology, have attracted more and more attention. Recently, people mainly focus on the latency performance, security, interaction, scalability, and so on. We propose a new network topology model — Similarity Crossed Cube(S-CQ for short), which combines with the feature of crossed cube and establishes...

This paper explores the impact ground delay can have on designing and executing rendezvous operations such as formation flight. For a given formation pairing the route is fixed, speed policies are then generated to compensate for uncertainty in take-off times. Value Iteration is used to solve both the deterministic and stochastic Dynamic Programming problem for an entire state-space. The final optimal...
