多层卫星通信网络自适应路由策略

单层卫星网络由于轨道高度和覆盖能力的不同,以至构成通信的单层系统往往不能满足不同业务服务质量的需求。分析了Walkerdelta型星座构建多层卫星通信网络的拓扑结构和ISL性能,提出了在统计分布模型下的多层卫星自适应路由策略,综合考虑了路径时延和ISL链路负载。仿真结果表明了多层网络自适应路由策略能够更加有效地分配网络通信量,网络具有较小的丢包率、网络平均归一化链路负载和特定路径综合路径权重,有利于降低网络平均阻塞概率和特定路径阻塞概率,获得更高的可靠性,较传统的单层非自适应路由更加有效、可靠。

Service Discovery in Ad Hoc Networks: Performance Evaluation and QoS Enhancement

With the increasing popularity of wireless portable devices, such as laptops, PDAs and mobile phones, it is getting more and more important for mobile users to discover their required resources (e.g. printers and fax machines) without any need of configurations. To this end, automatic service discovery is an important feature of mobile Ad Hoc networks (Manets). In this paper a service discovery protocol for Manets based on the IETF Service Location Protocol has been implemented in the NS-2 simulator. Its performance is studied under different mobility patterns, network sizes and number of service agents. A lightweight quality of service (QoS) aware service discovery protocol is also proposed to support QoS applications.

A survey on routing protocols for wireless sensor networks

Recent advances in wireless sensor networks have led to many new protocols specifically designed for sensor networks where energy awareness is an essential consideration. Most of the attention, however, has been given to the routing protocols since they might differ depending on the application and network architecture. This paper surveys recent routing protocols for sensor networks and presents a classification for the various approaches pursued. The three main categories explored in this paper are data-centric, hierarchical and location-based. Each routing protocol is described and discussed under the appropriate category. Moreover, protocols using contemporary methodologies such as network flow and quality of service modeling are also discussed. The paper concludes with open research issues.     

A self-healing On-demand Geographic Path Routing Protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks

We present a self-healing On-demand Geographic Path Routing Protocol (OGPR) for mobile ad-hoc networks. OGPR is an efficient, stateless, and scalable routing protocol that inherits the best of the three well-known techniques for routing in ad-hoc networks, viz., greedy forwarding, reactive route discovery, and source routing. In OGPR protocol, source nodes utilize the geographic-topology information obtained during the location request phase to establish geographic paths to their respective destinations. Geographic paths decouple node ID’s from the paths and are immune to changes in the network topology. Further, they help nodes avoid dead-ends due to greedy forwarding. To utilize geographic paths even in sparser networks, OGPR uses a path-healing mechanism that helps geographic paths adapt according to the network topology. We present extensions to OGPR protocol to cope with networks containing unidirectional links. Further, we present results from an extensive simulation study using GloMoSim. Simulation results show that OGPR achieves higher percentage packet delivery and lower control overhead, compared to a combination of GPSR+GLS protocols, AODV, and DSR under a wide range of network scenarios.

Weighted cooperative routing for wireless mobile Ad-hoc network

A novel weighted cooperative routing algorithm (WCRA) is proposed in this article, which was on the basis of a weighted metric with maximal remaining energy (MRE) of the relays and the maximal received SNR (MRS) of the nodes. Moreover, a cooperative routing protocol was implemented on the basis of WCRA. Then simulation is done on network simulation (NS-2) platform to compare the performances of MRS, MRE and WCRA with that of noncooperative destination-sequenced destination-sequenced distance-vector (DSDV) protocol. The simulative results show that WCRA obtains a performance tradeoff between MRE and MRS in terms of delivery ratio and network lifetime, which can effectively improve the network lifetime at an acceptable loss of delivery ratio.

A Novel Routing Protocol for Supporting QoS for Ad Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks

The main purposes of this article are to lessen the influence of the fastchanging network topology, rapidly varying bandwidth information, and the increasing size of routing tables onquality of service routing. Based on DSDV (Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector) routing protocol formaintaining up-to-date routing information, the related research has to update routing tables when networktopology changes; moreover, the routing tables must be updated periodically even though the networktopology has not changed. To put emphasis on QoS routing, they also have to exchange routing tables by thetime of bandwidth information changes. Furthermore, the size of routing tables increases with the numberof mobile nodes; therefore, the precious wireless bandwidth is wasted on transmitting the large-scalerouting tables. In this article, we propose an on-demand-based QoS routing protocol to mitigate theseproblems and to achieve the QoS requirement. The goal of this article is to discover an optimal routewith minimum time delay for transmitting real-time data from a source node hop by hop to adestination node under some predefined constraints. Our contributions are as follows: our researchprovides a rigorous bandwidth definition and bandwidth application, a broad view of bandwidth calculationand reservation, minimizing the size of control packets and the number of control packet transmissions,and an efficient QoS routing protocol.
