The Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), as an important part of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), has been becoming a promising research area. Due to the high mobility of vehicles and intermittent connected topology resulting in the dramatically changing network topology, it is difficult to design a protocol including congestion control mechanism, which is helpful for a well network performance...
Because of the feature of hybrid wireless mesh network, hybrid routing protocol is the most proper routing protocol for this kind of network. Hybrid routing protocol is composed of proactive routing protocol and reactive routing protocol. The proactive one is adaptive for static mesh routers, and the reactive one is suitable for mobile mesh clients. Existing hybrid routing protocols all neglect the...
Exascale networks are expected to comprise a significant part of the total monetary cost and 10-20% of the power budget allocated to exascale systems. Yet, our understanding of current and emerging workloads on these networks is limited. Left ignored, this knowledge gap likely will translate into missed opportunities for (1) improved application performance and (2) decreased power and monetary costs...
This paper reports extensive simulations of the dynamic routing techniques for optical burst switching (OBS) networks. It gives a summary of the already proposed algorithms and describes more broadly some of them. It introduces also a new one called the Weighted Link Congestion and Frequency (WLCF) algorithm. Our comparative simulations are performed using an in-house developed environment in which...
An optimal energy scheme for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is developed in this paper. Four elements are considered as the most important keys that influence network performance; these four elements are transmission power, interference, link lifetime, and load balance. A load balance approach is involved to distribute the traffic over available routes to address well-known problem in energy efficient...
Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks (ICMNs) are sparse wireless networks where most of the time an end-to-end path does not exist from source to destination. These networks are characterized by opportunistic connectivity, long and variable delay, asymmetric data rate and high error rate. Hence, they can be appropriately modeled as Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs). In this paper, the performance...
Vehicular Ad-hoc Network is gaining the attention of researchers because of the technological advancements for developing an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The dynamic nature of vehicles (nodes) leads to frequent path breaks and network fragmentation. Therefore, routing has become a critical issue in inter-vehicle communication. Location management in VANETs is considered as a critical issue...
We evaluate a routing metric, called TXPFI, which captures the expected number of frame transmissions needed for successful delivery of data in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) featuring non-fully cooperative nodes and unreliable links. The study, which addresses the exploitation of the TXPFI in routing protocols of distance-vector type, assesses the impact of different network settings on the performance...
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) use many different routing protocols to route data packets between nodes. These routing protocols are designed taking for granted that all nodes are cooperative and willing to forward control and data packets from and to other nodes. However, when selfish nodes exist in the network, the network performance may degrade significantly. In previous research, selfish nodes...
Due to intermittent connectivity and uncertain node mobility, opportunistic message forwarding algorithms have been widely adopted in delay tolerant networks (DTNs). While existing work proposes practical forwarding algorithms in terms of increasing the delivery rate and decreasing data overhead, little attention has been drawn to the control overhead induced by the algorithms. The control overhead...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) often need to operate under strict requirements on energy consumption and be capable of self-adapting to the presence of non-trusted nodes which do not fully cooperate in the packet forwarding operation. In such an environment, the mechanism employed for the calculation of routing paths of minimum cost in terms of the number of transmissions executed for the reliable...
The peer-to-peer (P2P) communication model has gained an enormous research interest in the last few years due to its promising properties (e.g., decentralization, self-organization, scalability, etc.) to build large scale distributed applications. However, the P2P systems are characterized by their dynamic behavior as peers can frequently join and leave the network. This property makes the data availability...
In this paper, a series of novel secure dynamic routing protocols are proposed to provide the end-to-end security. Unlike the existing dynamic routing protocols with security consideration which focus on a certain specific network threat, in the paper the proposed approach is based on a comprehensive network security evaluation framework. By analyzing the threats, vulnerabilities, countermeasures,...
Opportunistic networks are the manifestation of wireless ad-hoc networks where there is no continuous end-to-end path. The forwarding of messages takes place via any nodes that are encountered, and therefore the measurement of message passing efficiency between nodes becomes challenging if a number of different protocols are to be compared and evaluated. Prior work has identified an evaluation framework...
Information-Centric Networking is (ICN) gaining increasingly concerns, as an important direction of the future Internet architecture research. To study the impacts of various cache policies on overall performance of ICN network, we formulate the in- network caching problem of ICN into Mixed-Integer Linear Programming problem. Furthermore, we infer that frequency-based cache policies like LFU are supposed...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are considered as a sub directory of MANET which are consisted of Mesh Routers and Mesh Clients. The innovative ideas to conquer the problems in case of routing in a WMN platform are key points that can potentially increase the throughput of the network in different scenarios. The protocols introduced by IEEE 802.11s draft are divided into Proactive, Reactive or Hybrid...
In wireless ad-hoc networks where there is no continuous end-to-end path we move into the area of opportunistic networks. Forwarding messages via any encountered nodes, such as the mobile devices that many users already carry. Normally we are looking for the most efficient method of passing these messages across the network, but how do we evaluate the different methods. We propose to develop a framework...
When low power mobile devices communicate over short range wireless networks using technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee etc., the contacts are often opportunistic and intermittent due to range, mobility and energy constraint. While the DTN architecture provides a framework to support opportunistic and intermittent connectivities, existing DTN routing algorithms do not consider application...
VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc NETwork) is comprised of devices that are installed inside vehicles and on road sides. Since vehicles can move randomly and at various velocities, the network topology is highly dynamic. Consequently, links between network nodes could be broken at anytime and communications from vehicle to vehicle could be corrupted. For this reason, a routing protocol independent of the network...
In Wireless Sensor-Actor Networks (WSANs), sensors probe their surroundings and send their data to more capable actor nodes in order to execute an application task. The actors' response is mostly collaborative and requires them to coordinate their operation. Therefore, a strongly connected inter-actor topology would be necessary at all time and tolerance of an actor failure becomes a design requirement...
