Opportunistic routing in wireless networks has strong requirement with nodes' cooperation. But in most realistic networks, nodes perform in their own interests and refuse to forward packets for others when they belong to different organizations. The aim of this paper is to provide a fair incentive mechanism to encourage cooperation and achieve the energy efficient. We propose an auction incentive...
Multicomputers have experienced a rapid development during the last decade. Multicomputers rely on an interconnection network among processors to support the message-passing mechanism. Therefore, the reliability of the interconnection network is very important for the reliability of the whole system. In this paper a new fault-tolerant routing algorithm, which is based on dimension order routing, is...
To restore the performance of the system due to the failure of a BS, we propose a hybrid vehicular communication system which introduces a novel double cluster head (DCH) routing scheme. Using vehicular traces from loop Ids on the M4 motorway in the UK, the performance of the system is evaluated and compared with the single cluster head (SCH) routing scheme under different configurations. Even though,...
Network elements for constructing an IP network have been increasing in number with the expansion of the telecommunications infrastructure. Network subscriber services are enabled or disabled by issuing command lines (e.g., in a configuration file) for execution in network elements. Moreover, the diversification of network services and the increase in the number of subscribers are two factors that...
In wireless multihop networks, route selection plays an important role in network performance in terms of throughput capacity, as well as, energy efficiency. In general, the route selection strategy should distribute the traffic throughout the network, in order to avoid congestion. This strategy also has the side-effect of distributing the energy consumption among all nodes, so that the energy starvation...
With the resurgent interest in virtualisation, router virtualisation seems the next step to servers virtualisation. It is also a key in deploying flexible and isolated virtual networks. In this paper, we evaluate Xen-based virtual routers on top of commodity hardware. Forwarding being achieved through the driver domain networking model, we identify and analyze the throughput limitation through profiling...
This article addresses the problem of performance degradation of wireless sensor networks for scenarios involving data gathering to a small number of node sinks; as the data travel toward a sink, its neighbor nodes experience high loads and congestion. Using CSMA/CA as the basic access protocol, we implemented CoSenS, a collecting and sending burst scheme, on the top of it to address these issues...
Power Line Communication Networks (PLCN) represent a very attractive communication system which can be used for many applications in the area of both home/building automation and street lighting control. The main problem is how to organize the many nodes, in order to implement a network where all nodes can exchange information with a master node. In this paper a tree-based clustering approach is introduced...
We propose cooperative geographic routing (cGeo-routing) for wireless mesh networks by combining cooperative transmission with traditional geographic routing. We model and evaluate two cGeo-routing schemes including Cooperative-Random Progress Forwarding (C-RPF) and Cooperative-Nearest with Forward Progress (C-NFP). We show that cGeo-routing significantly increases the average transport capacity for...
Disaster information network is very important for people in many countries, particularly in Japan because there are many serious disasters have occurred annually. So far we have developed a disaster information network based on wireless LANs because of their mobility, portability and easy installation. In order to improve the connectivity and to attain the longer communication distance, we introduce...
A spectrum leasing mechanism is proposed for the coexistence between a primary and a secondary network that is based on cooperation and opportunistic routing. The primary network consists of a source and a destination communicating via a number of primary relay nodes. In each transmission slot, the next hop is selected in an on-line fashion based on the decoding outcomes in the previous transmissions...
A Modified Hierarchical 3D-Torus (MH3DT) network is a 3D-torus network of multiple basic modules, in which the basic modules are themselves 3D-torus networks which are hierarchically interconnected into higher-level networks. The static network performance of the MH3DT has already been studied and has been shown to be good. Dynamic communication performance has been evaluated using dimension-order...
Cooperation enforcement in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) typically relies on separate detection and punishment schemes that isolate selfish nodes from routing and receiving network services. However, cooperative nodes then have to carry all the traffic. We propose a system that enforces cooperation smoothly and assures a fair distribution of bandwidth, as well as...
In multi-hop wireless mesh network (WMN), hidden node is one of the major problems when IEEE 802.11 DCF is used as a MAC protocol. It causes data packet collisions between the multi-hop links and significantly affects the network performance. In order to avoid this problem, a novel routing scheme is proposed in this paper. It uses a high sensitive sensing function utilized for cognitive radio. The...
We study the capacity of random wireless ad hoc networks when nodes are capable of multi-packet transmission and reception (MPTR). This paper extends the unified framework of (n, m, k)-cast by Wang et al. for single-packet reception (SPR) at each node to the case of MPTR. (n, m, k)-cast considers all types of information dissemination including unicast routing, multicast routing, broadcasting and...
Biologically inspired networking paradigm introduces throughput gains in an adaptive and robust operation over the classical routing algorithms designed for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). However, this performance gain comes at the price of additional overhead as in the case of ant routing protocols. In this context, we present the Scented Node Protocol (SNP) to reduce the overhead requirement while...
One of the most critical problems in multihop wireless networks is the fair allocation of bandwidth among different nodes. Although there are significant researches on the fairness issues in single-hop wireless networks, research on multihop fairness rarely found in the literature. A user in multi-hop network, besides the contention with other nodes to obtain the channel in physical layer, must find...
In this paper, a heuristic adaptive routing algorithm for an energy-efficient configuration management has been suggested which can reduce energy consumption while guaranteeing QoS for the emergency data in wireless body area networks (WBANs). The priority and vicinity of the nodes are taken into account for the selection of reachable parent nodes, when the nodes are disconnected due to the mobile...
The problem of throughput maximization in a cognitive radio network with decentralized control (i.e., a cognitive radio ad hoc network) is considered in this paper. First, decentralized and localized algorithms for throughput maximization through joint cognitive routing and interference-avoiding waveform selection are proposed, based on a nonlinear optimization framework. The proposed algorithms adapt...
Even though channel assignment has been studied for years, most IEEE 802.11-based multi-hop wireless networks such as WSN, WMN, MANET are limited by channel interference. Properly assigning orthogonal channels to wireless links can improve the throughput of multi-hop network. To solve the dynamic channel assignment problem, a routing-based channel assignment algorithm R-CA is proposed. R-CA can allocate...
