Wireless Multi-hop Networks (WMhNs) provide users with the facility to communicate while moving with whatever the node speed, the node density and the number of traffic flows they want, without any unwanted delay and/or disruption. This paper contributes Linear Programming models (LP_models) for WMhNs. In WMhNs, different routing protocols are used to facilitate users demand(s). To practically examine the constraints of respective LP_models over different routing techniques, we select three proactive routing protocols; Destination Sequence Distance Vector (DSDV), Fish-eye State Routing (FSR) and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR). These protocols are simulated in two important scenarios regarding to user demands; mobilities and different network flows. To evaluate the performance, we further relate the protocols strategy effects on respective constraints in selected network scenarios.
Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a distributed, infrastructure-less and decentralized network. A routing protocol in MANET is used to find routes between mobile nodes to facilitate communication within the network. Numerous routing protocols have been proposed for MANET. Those routing protocols are designed to adaptively accommodate for dynamic unpredictable changes in network's topology. The mobile nodes in MANET are often powered by limited batteries and network lifetime relies heavily on the energy consumption of nodes. In consequence, the lack of a mobile node can lead to network partition…
This paper evaluates the energy consumption of well-known routing protocols, along with other metrics such as throughput, packet delivery ratio (PDR), and delay in different scenarios. We consider two other metrics in order to capture the efficiency of the energy consumption: e-throughput which is the ratio between the consumed energy and the throughput; and the e-PDR which is the ratio between the consumed energy and the PDR. We compare four routing protocols: AODV, OLSR, and HWMP in Reactive and Proactive modes. The number of nodes is varying between 25 and 81 nodes, with different mobility …
Software-defined networking offers numerous benefits against the legacy networking systems through simplifying the process of network management and reducing the cost of network configuration. Currently, the management of failures in the data plane is limited to two mechanisms: proactive and reactive. Such failure recovery techniques are activated after occurrences of failures. Therefore, packet loss is highly likely to occur as a result of service disruption and unavailability. This issue is not only related to the slow speed of recovery mechanisms, but also the delay caused by the failure de…
Harnessing information about the user mobility pattern and daily demand can enhance the network capability to improve the quality of experience (QoE) at Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). Proactive caching, as one of the key features offered by 5G networks, has lately received much interest. However, more research is still needed to convey large-sized multimedia content including video, audio and pictures to the high speed moving vehicles. In this paper, we study the gains achieved by proactive caching in Roadside Units (RSUs) where we take into consideration the effect of the vehicle velocit…
This paper is focused on a discussion of parameters and heuristics that are expected to assist multihop routing in becoming more sensitive to node mobility. We provide a discussion concerning existing and a few proposed parameters. Moreover, the work also discusses two new heuristics based on the notion of link duration. The heuristics are compared based on a meaningful set of scenarios that attain different mobility aspects.
Mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) is a growing technology that can support the operation of adaptive wireless networks. With the increased demand rate of wireless applications it is useful to have more adaptive and self organizing technologies that adapt to changes within a network region. In this paper we initially present a brief listing of table driven ad hoc routing protocols and eventually analyze in detail the behaviour of demand driven ad hoc routing protocols like - Ad Hoc On Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA)…
Fundamental requirements of mmWave systems are peak data rates of multiple Gbps and latencies of the order of at most a few milliseconds. However, highly directional mmWave links are susceptible to frequent link failures under stress conditions such as mobility and human blockage. Under these conditions, multi-hop routing can achieve reliable and robust performance. In this paper, we consider multi-hop millimeter wave (mmWave) wireless systems and propose proactive route refinement schemes that are particularly important under dynamic scenarios. First, we consider the AODV-type protocols and p…

The centralized architecture in software-defined network (SDN) provides a global view of the underlying network, paving the way for enormous research in the area of SDN traffic engineering (SDN TE). This research focuses on the load balancing aspects of SDN TE, given that the existing reactive methods for data-plane load balancing eventually result in packet loss and proactive schemes for data plane load balancing do not address congestion propagation. In the proposed work, the SDN controller periodically monitors flow level statistics and utilization on each link in the network and over-utili…
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication in the vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), an infrastructure-free mechanism, has emerged as a crucial component in the advanced Intelligent Transport System (ITS) for special information transmission and inter-vehicular communications. One of the main research challenges in VANET is the design and implementation of network routing protocols which manage to trigger V2X communication with the reliable end-to-end connectivity and efficient packet transmission. The organically changing nature of road transport vehicles poses a significant threat to VANET wit…
We consider the problem of routing in a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) for which the planned mobilities of the nodes are partially known a priori and the nodes travel in groups. This situation arises commonly in military and emergency response scenarios. Optimal routes are computed using the most reliable path principle in which the negative logarithm of a node pair's adjacency probability is used as a link weight metric. This probability is estimated using the mobility plan as well as dynamic information captured by table exchanges, including a measure of the social tie strength between nodes.…
Ultra-low latency communication for mobile machines emerges as a critical technology in Internet of Things (IoT). Proactive network association has been suggested to support ultra-low latency communication with the assistance of mobile edge computing. To resolve system dynamics and uncertainty, in this paper, an online proactive network association is proposed to minimize average task delay while considering time-average energy consumption constraints. Under distributed computing and networking environments, we formulate an event-triggered proactive network association model by semi-Markov tas…
In this paper, we propose an ad-hoc on-demand distance vector routing algorithm for mobile ad-hoc networks taking into account node mobility. Changeable topology of such mobile ad-hoc networks provokes overhead messages in order to search available routes and maintain found routes. The overhead messages impede data delivery from sources to destination and deteriorate network performance. To overcome such a challenge, our proposed algorithm estimates link duration based neighboring node mobility and chooses the most reliable route. The proposed algorithm also applies the estimate for route main…
The high-level contribution of this paper is to establish benchmarks for the minimum hop count per source-receiver path and the minimum number of edges per tree for multicast routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) under different mobility models. In this pursuit, we explore the tradeoffs between these two routing strategies with respect to hop count, number of edges and lifetime per multicast tree with respect to the Random Waypoint, City Section and Manhattan mobility models. We employ the Breadth First Search algorithm and the Minimum Steiner Tree heuristic for determining a sequence of …
In this paper, we propose a cross-layer extension for the INETMANET framework of OMNeT++, which utilizes mobility control knowledge to enhance the forwarding of routing messages. The well-known mobility meta-model from Reynolds is used to provide a realistic representation of the mobility behavior of autonomous agents with respect to the various influences those agents have to face in real-world applications. Knowledge about the current mobility properties and its predicted development is used by mobility-aware routing mechanisms in order to optimize routing decisions and avoid path losses at …

We propose a mobility-assisted on-demand routing algorithm for mobile ad hoc networks in the presence of location errors. Location awareness enables mobile nodes to predict their mobility and enhances routing performance by estimating link duration and selecting reliable routes. However, measured locations intrinsically include errors in measurement. Such errors degrade mobility prediction and have been ignored in previous work. To mitigate the impact of location errors on routing, we propose an on-demand routing algorithm taking into account location errors. To that end, we adopt the Kalman f…
Opportunistic routing is being investigated to enable the proliferation of low-cost wireless applications. A recent trend is looking at social structures, inferred from the social nature of human mobility, to bring messages close to a destination. To have a better picture of social structures, social-based opportunistic routing solutions should consider the dynamism of users' behavior resulting from their daily routines. We address this challenge by presenting dLife, a routing algorithm able to capture the dynamics of the network represented by time-evolving social ties between pair of nodes. …
Efficient routing is one of the key challenges of wireless networking for unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) due to dynamically changing channel and network topology characteristics.

In this paper, we present a novel approach which leverages application layer knowledge derived from mobility control algorithms guiding the behavior of UAVs to fulfill a dedicated task. Thereby a prediction of future trajectories of the UAVs can be integ…
Swarms of collaborating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that utilize ad-hoc networking technologies for coordinating their actions offer the potential to catalyze emerging research fields such as autonomous exploration of disaster areas, demanddriven network provisioning, and near field packet delivery in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). As these mobile robotic networks are characterized by high grades of relative mobility, existing routing protocols often fail to adopt their decision making to the implied network topology dynamics. For addressing these challenges, we present Predict…
