This dissertation endeavors to contribute enhancements in goodputsof the IEEE 802.11-
based Wireless Multi-hop Networks (WMhNs). By performing exhaustive simulations, for the …

Most current routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks consider the shortest path with
minimum hop counts at the optimal route. However, the minimum end-to-end delay from …

Recently, multi-sink wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are envisioned to solve the hot spot
problem caused by traditional single-sink WSNs. Routing protocols should be able to …

In mobile ad hoc networks connectivity is always an issue of concern. Due to dynamism in
the behavior of mobile nodes, efficiency shall be achieved only with the assumption of good …

To ensure uninterrupted communication in a mobile ad hoc network, efficient route discovery
is crucial when nodes move and/or fail. Hence, protocols such as Dynamic Source Routing …

A wireless Mobile Adhoc NETwork (MANET) is an infrastructure-less mobile network which
is based on radio to radio multi-ho** and has no centralized controller or a fixed router. All …

The calculation of path cost is a critical component of route discovery for network routing.
The criteria used to represent path cost guides resource consumption in the network. In this …

The principal focus of this survey is on how to maximize the useful lifetime of ad hoc wireless
networks through energy-efficient routing. Most of the studies on energy-aware routing …

In a wireless ad hoc network, the main issue of a good broadcast protocol is to attain
maximum reachability with minimal packet forwarding. Existing protocols address this issue …

Load balancing is a crucial part of MANET routing protocols. Most of the currently
implemented routing protocols do not account for load balancing. A number of new …
