Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) compose the fundamental platform for a number of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, especially those related to the environmental, health, and military surveillance. While being autonomous in power supply, the main challenge in node’s processing and communication architecture design remains the energy efficiency. However, this goal should not limit the main functionality of the system which is often related to the network coverage and connectivity. This paper shows the implementation of the Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing algorithm in an XBee based platform. As shown, the network can achieve low power consumption per node primarily due to the energy efficiency of the wireless transceivers and the due to the capability of the firmware to enable different operation modes. On the other hand, while inheriting the advantages of flooding-based route discovery protocols, the implemented AODV algorithm further minimizes the data and processing overhead, which implies the additional lifetime prolongation of the energy-constrained mesh network.

Routing is a challenging issue of WMNs due to the dynamic nature of the network. In WMNs, a node can leave or join the network at any time. So, there is a need for an efficient routing algorithm in WMNs that should quickly discover the path. The development of different networking environments has a significant effect on WMNs routing. This paper proposes a new Butterfly Optimization algorithm (BOA) based routing approach for Wireless Mesh Networks. The proposed BOA routing approach was implemented using MATLAB, and its performance was compared with Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector(AODV), Ant Colony Optimization(ACO), BAT optimization algorithm, Dynamic Source Routing(DSR), and Biogeography-based optimization(BBO)based routing approaches on 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 dynamic node scenarios. From the results, We observe that the proposed Butterfly based routing approach outperforms the existing five routing approaches.

In present scenario, Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) is the emerging research topic in the applications like disaster situations (battle fields, earthquake, etc). The utility of MANET is increased by combining with the internet. The conventional techniques in MANET have a few issues like less infrastructure, standalone networks, and dynamic or complex topology. In order to address these issues, an efficient clustering and channeling algorithm (Hybrid K-means, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) channeling algorithm) is developed for maximizing the network lifetime. The proposed algorithm finds the optimal cluster head selection for discovering the shortest path among the cluster heads. The Hybrid-K-means-PSO-AODV technique is applied to increase the Network Lifetime (NL), alive nodes, total packet send, throughput, and also to minimizes the dead nodes and energy consumption in a network. In the experimental phase, the proposed approach reduced the emery consumption up to 170 joules related to the existing approaches: PSO-PSO- MANETs and PSO-GSO- MANETs.

The main issue that occurs in battery powered applications in Mobile Ad Hoc networks (MANETs) is energy efficiency. Routing protocols are mainly based on energy related parameters which are used to extend the lifetime of networks. In most of the situations Shortest path routing protocols are used in MANETs which do not consider the energy awareness. Hence power failure of the nodes affect the life time of the network. In this paper we focus on Energy efficiency in Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol by using High Energy First (HEF) algorithm to overcome the shortcomings that occur in MANETs due to increase in node density. Simulations are performed using NS-2 and we have compared the performance of AODV and DSR using HEF with the performance of existing DSR and AODV to prove the maximization of lifetime of the network. Simulation results show that the proposed protocols with HEF are efficient than the existing protocols.

Wireless mesh network (WMN) operates both in infrastructure and ad-hoc mode. It provides extended network coverage based on heterogeneous wireless technologies through multi-hop communications. In WMNs, the routing mechanisms and network organization need to be improved so that optimal path discovery or different protocols adaptability can be achieved. Hybrid routing is a demanding issue to be discussed these days as need of higher mobility management in the diverse situations and environments. It's required to improve the older schemes for higher data rate and minimum energy consumptions. The proposed work presents a design of a novel routing algorithm for optimal route discovery, congestion reduction, dynamic route selection and scalability in hybrid mesh networks. The authors have focused on Hybrid Routing Protocols to originate a novel routing scheme based on AODV (Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector routing protocol) in Ad-Hoc level with clustering scheme and DSDV (Destination Sequence Distance Vector) as proactive routing protocol in Backbone Mesh Router Level to form a new hybrid routing protocol. In this work a Novel Hybrid Distance Vector (NHDV) routing protocol algorithm has been introduced, which is the combination of DSDV (Destination Sequence Distance Vector) and AODV routing protocols. A clustering scheme with the combination of two efficient clustering schemes for Ad-hoc mesh client levels is discussed in detail and a performance metric for DSDV is also discussed which ETX (Expected Transmission Count) is for measuring packet loss ratio at each link for higher throughput. A new performance metric introduced in AODV as Mesh Router Count is used to improve the performance of communication to the Mesh Routers. The proposed work is the design of new algorithm that presents an optimal solution in bringing out a revolutionary change to Hybrid Routing.

Most of routing protocols used for Mobile Ad hoc Network {MANET}, such as Ad hoc on demand distance vector {AODV} routing, uses minimum hops as the only metric for choosing a route. This decision might lead to cause some nodes become congested which will degrade the network performance. This paper proposes an improvement of AODV routing algorithm by making routing decisions depend on fuzzy cost based on the delay in conjunction with number of hops in each path. Our simulation was carried out using OMNeT++ 4.0 simulator and the evaluation results show that the proposed Fuzzy Multi-Constraint AODV routing performs better than the original AODV in terms of average end-to-end delay and packet delivery.

In Wireless sensor networks and ad hoc networks nodes have a freedom to move from one place to another, they are self-configuring this type of the structure fulfil the requirements of several application. A survey on the different MANET protocols will be done in this paper. Mainly this paper will focus on the Quality of Service on the different parameters like Throughput and Delay between different protocols like AODV (Ad Hoc on Demand Distance Vector), DSDV (Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing), DSR (Dynamic Source Routing), and TORA (Temporary Ordered Routing Algorithm). DSDV is called as proactive protocol because they know everything about the nodes in the network before the communication start. DSR, AODV, TORA protocols are called reactive protocol because nodes in this network do not know anything about network. They are also called ON-DEMAND routing protocols. After this analysis you will come to know which MANET protocol is best for different application.

During rescue missions first responders rely on voice communication making crisis management nearly impossible without good means of communication. Unfortunately the communication technology used by first responders today does not scale well. Also most of the given infrastructure, such as cell towers, might be destroyed after a disaster. Therefore, ad-hoc and peer-to-peer-based communication schemes have been proposed in recent research to provide scalable and resilient communication. Most mobile phones today are equipped with wireless transceivers that make them suitable to participate in ad-hoc networks. But in this case, device density might be too small for a connected topology. In this paper, the authors propose an emergency switch for privately owned wireless routers. The switch allows wireless routers to transition to an emergency mode creating a supportive wireless mesh network. To analyze if such a network would result in a resilient topology real data from wireless routers in a city is gathered. They calculate the locations of private and public routers from GPS traces and compare the resulting networks with each other. Finally, the authors discuss open and critical questions and implications the proposed emergency switch would introduce.
