Mobile Ad-hoc Network is a temporary network which is the cooperative engagement of a collection of standalone mobile nodes that are not connected to any external network. It is a decentralized network where mobile nodes can be easily…

This paper investigates on the problem of combining routing scheme and physical layer security in multihop wireless networks with cooperative diversity. We propose an ad-hoc natured hop-by-hop best secure relay selection in a multihop…

MANET is a cooperative network in which nodes are responsible for forwarding as well as routing. Noncooperation is still a big challenge that certainly degrades the performance and reliability of a MANET. This paper presents a novel…

AODV is Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector.A mobile ad-hoc network is a self-configuring network of mobile devices connected by wireless. MANET does not have any fixed infrastructure. The device in a MANET is free to move in any direction and…

All networks must provide an acceptable and desirable level of Quality of Service (QoS) to ensure that applications are well supported. This becomes a challenge when it comes to Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). This paper presents a…

Malfunctions of a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) protocol caused by a conceptual mistake in the protocol design, rather than unreliable communication, can often be detected only by considering communication among the nodes in the network to…

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of autonomous nodes or terminals which communicate with each other by forming a multi-hop radio network and maintaining connectivity in a decentralized manner. The conventional security…

In IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), network nodes experiencing collisions on the shared channel need to backoff for a random period of time, which is uniformly selected from the Contention Window (CW). This contention…

Metaheuristics have gained great success in academia and practice because their search logic can be applied to any problem with available solution representation, solution quality evaluation, and certain notions of locality. Manually…

We consider a recently introduced class of network construction problems where edges of a transportation network need to be constructed by a server (construction crew). The server has a constant construction speed which is much lower than…

Intelligent transportation system attracts a great deal of research attention because it helps enhance traffic safety, improve driving experiences, and transportation efficiency. Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) supports wireless…

Maximizing network lifetime is a very challenging issue in routing protocol design for Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs), since mobile nodes are powered by limited-capacity batteries. Furthermore, replacing or recharging batteries is often…

Network operation relies on heuristics to solve many tasks rapidly and efficiently across the protocol stack. These heuristics are the result of thorough human-driven design rooted in expert knowledge of the target system and problem.…

Standard congestion control cannot detect link failure losses which occur due to mobility and power scarcity in multi-hop Ad-Hoc network (MANET). Moreover, successive executions of Back-off algorithm deficiently grow Retransmission Timeout…
