To realize information system for reducing the traffic congestion, it is important to analyze the relationship between traffic congestion and route choice decision of each mobile object. In this paper, we show the characteristics of density clusters including percolation threshold in connection with route choice decision from analysis of simulation results on 100 × 100 non-diluted periodical square...
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...
In a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN), where nodes are constantly moving and the connection of nodes are intermittent, messages are delivered by replicating to neighbor nodes in hopes of delivering to the destination in a timely manner. This causes a DTN network to have many duplicates even long after the message has reached its destination. In this paper, we develop a new routing protocol that helps...
Delay-Tolerant Mobile Sensor Network (DTMSN) distinguishes itself from traditional Wireless Sensor Network by several distinctive characteristics. Since end-to-end connections in DTMSN exist with certain probability, the conventional routing protocols for WSN may achieve poor network performance under these challenging scenarios. Hotspot-Based Adaptive Routing (HAR) is a routing scheme designed for...
In the context of multi-robot exploring, we work on the particular problem of maintaining communication links between an explorer robots and a base station using autonomous robot routers. In this paper, we propose and describe a kind of exploring application which considers a variable amount of robots over time. This problem opens various research challenges. Afterwards, we focus on the problem of...
Named Data networking(NDN) has emerged as a new communication paradigm designed for efficient dissemination of data. However, mobility issues are not considered sufficiently. Consumer or producer mobility can incur request staleness issue, the loss of Interest and Data packets and communication delay. Through analysis, we consider how to forward the buffered data from old access point(AP) to new one...
In this paper, we first present a heterogeneous theoretical framework for DTNs where the contact between nodes is based on independent differently distributed assumption. Moreover, the message forwarding process follows a Gamma Distribution. Then, we propose a new spray routing scheme based on this framework. Moreover, we compare our routing protocol with traditional spray routing (TSR) protocols...
The high mobility and variability of road traffic has hampered the design of efficient communication protocols and the deployment of new services in vehicular networks. Nevertheless, the newly-introduced notion of virtual mobile nodes (VMNs) has the potential to turn wireless ad hoc networks into more predictable environments, facing the significant challenges raised by the mobility of the (real)...
This paper analyses the performance of a new routing protocol for vehicular delay-tolerant networks, called GeoSpray. This geographic routing protocol performs a store-carry-and-forward, combining replication and forwarding/ routing decisions based on location information, with explicit delivery acknowledgments to improve network resources utilization. The performance of the proposed routing protocol...
Probabilistic forwarding methods have been exploited in opportunistic networks to reduce the overhead of epidemic routing. However, most existing methods make all the nodes forward messages with the same probability (i.e., equal scheme), which causes the energy unbalance of nodes. To guarantee the energy balance of nodes and prolong the network lifetime, we design a differentiated scheme, i.e., different...
Delay tolerant networks are intermittently connected. In this paper, we propose a DTN routing scheme EBR. The scheme is based on the idea of exploiting inter-contact time between mobile nodes to predict the number of nodes with no copy a node will encounter within the expected delay. In EBR, every node with message copies dynamically chooses the number of copies by itself. We evaluate the performance...
Topology change is the main factor that affects the network life time of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications. In static WSN, the topology change is often caused by node failure which is due to energy depletion. However, in the Mobile WSN (MWSN), the main reason of the topology change is caused by the node movement. Since the mobile sensor nodes are limited in power supply and have a low radio...
Due to the lack of end-to-end paths between the communication sources and destinations, the routing of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) exploits the store-carry-and-forward mechanism. In this new routing mechanism, how to efficiently integrate forwarding and replication mechanisms is significant for achieving high message delivery ratio while requiring low delivery cost. In this paper, by using famous...
In wireless sensor applications such as disaster recovery and military actions, the behavior of mobile sinks is characterized by group features. A number of mobile sinks move together in a group manner, and mobile sinks in the group stay closely and randomly move within a geographically restricted region. Recently, many communication schemes have been suggested to reflect the properties of the mobile...
As the applications of Wireless Sensor Networks proliferate, security issues raised in this uncontrolled, self-organised systems comprising a large number of nodes with very low processing, buffering and communication capabilities become mandatory as they need to cooperate with each other, even for routing data messages to the desired destination. A solution that has been widely pursued to detect...
Jamming attack by adversaries is the critical threat in Network Centric Warfare that uses tactical wireless networks. Thus research on developing new networking protocols that are resilient to such attacks are of high importance. Geocasting is a prominent routing mechanism in tactical networks to send critical messages such as alarm about chemical attack, guerrilla detection etc, to the nodes within...
Mobile ad hoc networks are characterized by their highly dynamic, multi-hop, and infrastructure-less nature. Due to limited computing power, scarce bandwidth, high mobility and the lack of a central coordinating entity, service discovery in these network is a challenging task. The great majority of service discovery protocols developed for MANETs deal with the above issues at the application layer...
Wireless technology based on the IEEE 802.11 standard is used to support multiple types of communication services (data, voice, and image) with different QoS requirements. Node mobility creates a continuously changing communication topology in which paths break and new one form dynamically. The routing table of each router in an adhoc network must be kept up-to-date. MANET uses Distance Vector or...
This paper analyses the two common routing protocols, AODV and DSR in Ad-Hoc network. On the OPNET network simulation platform, a systematically simulation and research has been carried out on the performance of two routing protocols, and how the network environments impact on the performance of routing protocol. The packet delivery ratio and average delay of these two indicators have been selected...
Underwater sensor networks were recently proposed to support quite a few aquatic applications such as ocean exploration and harbor monitoring. Different from terrestrial WSNs, the underwater sensor networks have many unique characteristics, such as greater propagation delay, higher dynamic topology and sparse node density. These features bring many new challenges to the protocol design of underwater...
