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...
Data centers are used to host computation-intensive distributed applications. Since all the applications are distributed in nature, their performance is significantly affected by the communication network. These applications generally create two kinds of flows: large data flows that require high throughput and small control flows that require low delay. These two contradictory requirements are not...
Internet research community has proposed many different multicast routing protocols to support efficient multimedia application such as, IPTV, videoconferencing, group games. Nevertheless, the design of all these protocols does not take into account that group members may be mobile. Indeed, with the arrival of Mobile IPv6 by IETF providing mobile users with continuous access, group members in the...
The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have a wide range of applications such as target detection and tracking, environmental monitoring, and tactical systems. However, lower sensing ranges result in dense networks, which brings the necessity to achieve an efficient medium access protocol subject to power constraints. Various MAC protocols with different objectives were proposed for wireless sensor networks...
In this paper, the connectionless multicast routing MCOM (Multipoint relay Connectionless Multicast) is introduced for mobile Ad hoc networks. MCOM adapts over a wide ranges of density of group members. It appears as unicast with few receivers and as flooding protocol, similar to Simplified Multicast Forwarding (SMF), with many receivers. MCOM utilizes the forwarding structure Multipoint relay (MPR)...
Wireless sensor networks are appealing to researchers due to their wide range of application potential in areas such as target detection and tracking, environmental monitoring, and tactical systems. However, lower sensing ranges result in dense networks, which bring the necessity to achieve an effcient medium access protocl subject to power constraints. Various MAC protocols with different objectives...
Multipath routing has been proved effective in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) for coping with link failures resulting from node mobility. In wireless mesh networks (WMNs) where routers are generally static, the traffic carried by the backup paths may adversely impact other flows and the multicast group itself, because these paths increase the number of transmissions and thus the level of interference...
Although there have been a plethora of studies on TCP performance in supporting of various applications, relatively little is known about the interaction between TCP and BGP, which is a specific application running on top of TCP. This paper investigates BGP's slow route propagation by analyzing packet traces collected from a large ISP and Route Views Oregon collector. In particular we focus on the...
Covering both theoretical and practical interest in different networks layers, multicast routing remains an important topic. In network layer, there are several multicast routing protocols using different multicast routing trees in the literature. However PIM-SM and CBT protocols remains the most used multicast routing protocols; they propose using a shared tree (ST). This kind of tree provides efficient...
Using multipath routing protocols results in more efficient data transmission than single path routing protocols in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs). In this paper, we propose a new mechanism for improving video transmission over WMSN based on packet, path and queue priority scheduling over multipath routing protocol. We assume that network has high CBR (Constant Bit Rate) traffic with...
Multicasting protocols can be used to improve the efficiency of the wireless links in Mobile Ad hoc Networks when sending multiple copies of messages from multiple sources to multiple receivers. In this paper, a Source initiated Mesh and soft-state based QoS Probabilistic multicast routing protocol (SQMP) for MANETs is proposed. SQMP is inspired from the ant colony's route finding algorithm through...
Wireless Networks have evolved as promising technology for numerous applications to provide Internet access to fixed and mobile wireless devices. Multicasting plays a crucial role in many applications of Wireless Networks. Several routing protocols have been proposed for multicast communication in mobile wireless networks. In this paper we propose a reactive and receiver initiated multicast routing...
The wormhole attack is hard to detect and can be easily implemented. An attacker may receive packets from one location in the network and tunnel them to the other end point in a different location and re-inject them into the network. Attackers can tunnel the packets by one of the following methods: encapsulating the packets, using out-of-bound links or using high power. If there are two or more malicious...
Most multicast routing protocols construct reverse shortest path trees (SPTs) to deliver shared data. However, the use of the reverse SPT presents a challenge in the inter-domain routing environment, as the path from the source to a receiver could be asymmetric to the one used to go from the receiver to the source. A possible approach is to utilize the round-trip joining message but it incurs the...
Intermittently Connected Wireless Networks (ICWN) or Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTN), have attracted attention from researchers because of their inherent characteristics, including long latency, low data rate, and intermittent connectivity. Extensive research has been conducted on ICWN, including the architecture, and routing. However, few researchers have investigated the performance of...
Deployment of video communication services over mobile ad hoc networks faces numerical obstacles since the networks are characterized by limited and unpredictable bandwidth. Following the tenet of service-orientation, this study proposes a cross-layer design for fine-grained adaptive transmission of real-time video over time-varying channels. Specifically, the sender accurately estimates the current...
Intermittent connectivity is common in certain wireless access networks. Existing network protocols are not resilient to disruption of communication links and communication often fails when faced with sporadic connectivity. Thus in recent years there is a growing interest in Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks (also know as Mobile Opportunistic Networks) and many routing protocols have been proposed...
The mesh network (WMN) is a subset of adhoc network and it has a hybrid architecture having a portion of fixed infrastructure and a portion as wireless ad hoc nodes. It is easily deployed in an area, where the traditional wireless network cannot be deployed. It is also a good choice for high bandwidth application such as internet service provider (ISP) and video conferencing. In such scenarios throughput...
Wireless Mesh Networks are a wireless multi-hop networks in which the nodes are characterized by theirs stability. In this sort of network the minimum cost tree connects sources and receivers by implying a minimum number of forwarding nodes. This paper introduces an adaptation to the popular multicast protocol ODMRP (On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol) named OODMRP (Optimized On-Demand Multicast...
