Ad-hoc wireless networks are power constrained as the nodes operate with limited battery energy. To maximize the lifetime of these networks, transactions through each mobile node must be controlled in such a way that the power dissipation rates for the nodes are almost the same. At the same time, providing QoS for ad-hoc networks is a complex task due to the ever-changing network topology. This paper addresses the problem of power and bandwidth aware routing. We propose a power and bandwidth aware source initiated routing model for mobile ad-hoc networks. The model uses both the static and mobile intelligent agents. The agents together find an optimal path among the available routes. The model is simulated to test its operational effectiveness in various network scenarios. We observed that the agents provide more flexible and adaptable routing services and also support component based software engineering features such as software reuse, maintainability, customization, and encapsulation.

Mobile ad hoc network is a network comprised of mobile nodes quickly forming an autonomous network for a particular purpose such as emergency search and rescue. One of the most prominent security challenges for such a network is the limited capacity in the mobile nodes, thereby preventing costly computation operations. However, this limitation on a mobile node manifests itself only when the mobile node is dispatched on an active duty (i.e., online). One can prepare the mobile nodes as much as possible offline in anticipation of an upcoming deployment. In this chapter, the authors present three offline/online authentication and key agreement schemes and one offline/online non-repudiation scheme, all aiming at fast online computation for mobile nodes in mobile ad hoc networks.

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) consists of wireless mobile nodes without having a fixed infrastructure support. The communication between these mobile nodes is carried out without any centralized control. The communication among the nodes within the infrastructure less networks is done through Ad-Hoc routing protocols, But whenever any mobile node want to communicate to a node in a network that is outside the ad hoc network such as internet, there should be an appropriate mechanism for establishing this connection with the internet node or host. Gateway discovery is a fundamental process in connecting MANET with the internet. A mobile node can connect to the internet by discovery of some specialized nodes called as gateway nodes. These Gateway nodes act as a bridge between the mobile ad hoc networks node and the internet. The basic aim of the gateway discovery approach is to modify the route discovery process so that it is not only used for discovery of destination mobile nodes but also the gateways. In this paper we are going to present a review of various gateway discovery approaches which are used for establishing the interconnection of mobile ad hoc networks and internet and going to propose a algorithm that reduce the discovery time of the gateway by selective forwarding and simultaneously also optimize the gateway discovery control overheads.

This paper presents an investigation on the optimum number of neighbors for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The MANETs are self-configuring and self-organizing networks. In such a network, energyconstrained mobile nodes share limited bandwidth to send their packets to the destinations. The mobile nodes have a limited transmission range and they rely on their neighbors to deliver their packets. Hence, the mobile nodes must be associated with the required (i.e., optimum) number of neighbors. As the number of neighbors is varied, a trade-off exists between the network connectivity and available bandwidth per mobile node. To investigate this issue, we consider Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) as the routing protocol and IEEE 802.11 as the MAC layer protocol in this work. We consider both static and dynamic scenarios in this work. We simulated the ad hoc networks via network simulator (NS-2) and the simulation results show that there exists an optimum number of neighbors for the static case. We also show that mobility has a grave impact on the performance of the MANETs in terms of network throughput, end-to-end delay, energy consumption, and packet loss. Hence, we need to increase the number of neighbors under mobility conditions. However, there is no global optimum number of neighbors for the mobility case.


Mobile ad hoc networks are an independent wireless network that is built without permanent infrastructure and base station support. Each node in the network uses a wireless connection for connections and acts not only as an end system but also as a path to accelerating packets. Meanwhile, the network nodes are mobile and can move in each path with changing steps, creating a great dynamic of the network. Therefore, the protocols set for general ad hoc networks are inappropriate for such a situation. In addition, the performance of ad hoc routing protocols decreases with increasing network size. In this context, suggest a new way to extend the recital of routing in MANETs: the on-demand Progressive Distance Vector (PAODV). It is a modified variant of the standard AODV routing protocol, which shrinks the dynamic path when an optimal path exists and switches the traffic to it. Simulation studies with NS2 show that the proposed method improves network performance as network size, weight, or flexibility increase.

Mobile ad hoc networks comprise mobile nodes. The nodes both send and receive messages and can communicate with each other. Thus, the network builds its own network structure that is not dependent on the infrastructure. Owing to the characteristics of mobile ad hoc networks, they have been used in environments of poor communication, such as those in which the infrastructure cannot be built; for example, disaster areas and war zones. In this article, we propose an advanced energy-conserving optimal path schedule algorithm. The proposed algorithm sets the routing path using the relative angle, which is the distance between the source node and the base station. Using simulation results, we compared the proposed algorithm to existing algorithms. The protocol used by the proposed algorithm provides a higher packet delivery ratio and lower energy consumption than the lowest ID clustering algorithm and the mobility-based metric for clustering in the mobile ad hoc network algorithm.
