Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks are expected to provide a variety of multimedia applications. In order to satisfy different QoS requirements and optimize utilization of network resources, a novel traffic classification routing algorithm (TCR) is proposed. The key technique of TCR is investigating the traffic classification link-cost metrics (TCM) for different traffic classes, which selects...
The WirelessHART standard has been specifically designed for real-time communication between sensor and actuator devices for industrial process monitoring and control. End-to-end communication delay analysis for WirelessHART networks is required for acceptance test of real-time data flows from sensors to actuators and for workload adjustment in response to network dynamics. In this paper, we map the...
A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless network that can be formed without the need for any pre-existing infrastructure in which each node can act as a router. Due to bandwidth constraint and dynamic topology of mobile ad hoc networks, multipath supported routing is a very important research issue. This paper proposes a Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector Multipath Routing Protocol with...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have recently emerged as suitable data collection tools for both military and civil applications. In an indoor factory monitoring environment sensor relocation and/or addition are necessary with reorganization of production lines and/or starting of new production lines. Due to memory, processing, etc. constraints of the wireless nodes these addition and relocation affect...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are frameworks for modern pervasive computing infrastructures, and are often subject to operational difficulties, such as the inability to effectively mitigate signal noise or sensor failure. Natural systems, such as gene regulatory networks (GRNs), participate in similar information transport and are often subject to similar operational disruptions (noise, damage,...
The paper presents the comparative study and analysis of buffering in Goback2 network. The performance at the destination node by applying different buffering capacities at the routers is demonstrated. The results using NS2 simulator are produced. It can be concluded that the selection of appropriate type of buffering helps in controlling the congestion and the packet drops at the link node.
Combining LEO satellite's advantage on transmitting real-time information with GEO satellite's big computing ability, this paper proposes a Snap-based Autonomous Routing Algorithm for GEO_LEO satellite networks. The algorithm utilizes the connectivity rules of inter satellite link to partition network' topology and compute the routing table. GEO satellites can recount routing table for failure region...
An efficient logical topology helps wireless sensor networks (WSNs) minimizing different constraints. For large-scale WSNs, chain oriented logical topologies are shown to be more energy conservative than other logical topologies. Chain construction is the main challenge to create a chain oriented logical topology. In this paper, we propose a chain construction scheme, which creates several chains...
Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) can be envisaged as the network of moving vehicles communicating in asynchronous and autonomous fashion. Efficient and scalable information dissemination is a major challenge due to the movement of vehicles which causes unpredictable changes in network topology. Publish/Subscribe communication paradigm provides decoupling in time, space and synchronization between...
In this paper we consider the problem of transmitting a collection of packets from a source node to a destination node across a relay network. We analyze a simple random network coding scheme where each node transmits a random linear combination of packets each time it has a transmission opportunity. Our goal is to determine the expected time required to transmit all packets from the source to the...
In mobile wireless sensor networks where sensor nodes are general mobile terminals equipped by vehicles and pedestrians, it is difficult for applications to estimate coverages of sensor nodes due to their mobility. In addition, when a network is sparse, it is also difficult to estimate delivery delays of sensor readings to the sink node(s) because delays depend on both the distribution of nodes and...
Content sharing, dissemination and collaboration in open environments require the ability to send and combine data packets across network even in the absence of an end-to-end connected path [1]. User mobility plays a fundamental role in selection of intermediate relays for multi-hop communication [2]. Current schemes do not take into account the effect of power law distribution of inter-contact times,...
This paper addresses the problem of optimal gateways selection and route selection to Internet in backbone wireless mesh networks (WMNs) where each mesh router (MR) is equipped with multiple radio interfaces and a subset of nodes serve as gateways to Internet. Several schemes have been proposed to route packets in WMNs or to select appropriate gateways to connect clients to Internet. However, most...
Geographic routing is one of the most widely used routing strategies in large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSN). With location-based routing, small, cheap and resource constrained nodes can perform the routing function without the need of complex computations and large amount of memory space. In the traditional approach, nodes advertise their availability to update the routing table. We eliminate...
Energy efficient topology in Ad-hoc networks can be achieved mainly in two different ways. In the first method, network maintains a small number of nodes to form a connected backbone and the remaining nodes sleep to conserve energy. This method is effective for low traffic networks. Energy efficiency in the second method is achieved by power control technique. This technique is effective in high traffic...

This is especially more difficult in industrial environments with harsh radio conditions. In this paper we present a dynamic and distributed topology control algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks for use in performance critical environments...
Due to the significant growth of link speeds, amount of data that should be stored on router line cards are rapidly increasing. Therefore, a large number of memory modules are required for packet storage. In addition, a high performance interconnection network on line cards is strongly needed for inter-communication between processing elements and memory modules. In this paper we propose a new interconnection...
The Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET), a subset of Mobile Ad hoc Network, is used in many applications such as assisting driver with signage, road traffic reporting, telling the way, etc. Since VANET has highly dynamic topology and various vehicle densities, developing a routing protocol that can satisfy above applications requirements is a great challenge. In this paper, we present an efficient Road...
The inherent uncertainty in wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), due to nodal mobility, unstable links, and limited resources, frequently renders routing paths unusable. Due to the unpredictable movement of mobile nodes, the network topology of a mobile ad hoc network changes frequently. It will directly cause the routes to be broken and greatly degrade the network performance. However, selecting...
Ad hoc networks are useful for providing communication support where no fixed infrastructure exists or the deployment of a fixed infrastructure is not economically profitable, and movement of communicating parties are allowed. Due to the dynamic topology, developing better routing protocol became a challenging task. The Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol is a simple and efficient routing protocol...
