The growth of laptop and 802.11/Wi-Fi wireless networking have made Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) a popular research topic since the mid to late 1990s. Many academic papers evaluate protocols and abilities assuming varying degrees of mobility within a bounded space, usually with all nodes within a few hops of each other and usually with nodes sending data at a constant rate. Different protocols are then evaluated based on the packet drop rate, the overhead introduced by the routing protocols, and other measures. Research in MANET is like playing in a vast playground with only few known rules and large number of unknown rules applied to its different areas. Some areas are still unknown and some areas are at its early stage. Some of the research challenges that MANET present are dynamic topologies, battery lifetime, disconnected operations, security, et cetera. In general there are three types of MANET: vehicular ad hoc networks, intelligent vehicular ad hoc network, and Internet based mobile ad hoc networks. Each of these three types has its own research areas.

A mobile ad-hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes which temporarily forms a network without any type of centralized administration which is already in use. In adhoc network, the battery lifetime of the mobile nodes is less. If suppose any nodes battery power is drained it leads to spreading of many divisions in the networks. Hence these spreader nodes are the very important spot in this network. For the purpose of data forwarding some very important nodes can drain their battery power in advance because of increase in load and processing for forwarding the data. Because of the variance in loads developed, the network of nodes will be collapsed very badly, the route lifetime will be reduced, network will be partitioned and route reliability is reduced in MANETs. Because of this, the most important criteria which have to be improved is the consumption of energy in mobile ad-hoc networks. The very important technique is power aware routing technique in MANETs. Hence minimization of energy in the network of mobile nodes individually can be done by using some of the routing techniques. The most important thing is to study the power aware protocol in order to help the new research doers and application developers to find a new idea for designing more efficient routing protocols.

Wireless networks such as Bluetooth, WLAN and WiMax have transformed the way we access information and communicate seamlessly whether we are at home, in the office, or on the move on a train, bus or even aircraft. As mobile and embedded computing devices become more omnipresent, it will become increasingly difficult to interconnect them via wires and single-hop wireless links limited by radio transmission range. This has given rise to mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) where far away nodes communicate by requesting intermediate nodes to relay their information in order to reach the destination. MANETs self-organize, self-configure and self-heal themselves. MANETs are being used in many applications ranging from emergency response situations to wireless vehicular ad hoc networks. Many applications of MANETs such as Emergency Response and First Responders have strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for their communications systems, making MANET QoS provisioning mechanisms very crucial for supporting multimedia communications such as real-time audio and video. However, QoS provisioning in MANETs is quite tough in comparison to QoS provisioning in wireline IP networks. This is due to numerous reasons such as the dynamic network topology, unpredictable communication medium and limited battery power of mobile devices forming the network. This chapter describes the challenges and the current state of the art of QoS protocols and mechanisms in MANETs.

In wireless sensor networks (WSN), flooding increases the reliability in terms of successful transmission of a packet with higher overhead. The flooding consumes the resources of the network quickly, especially in sensor networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, and vehicular ad-hoc networks in terms of the lifetime of the node, lifetime of the network, and battery lifetime, etc. This paper aims to develop an efficient and reliable protocol by using multicasting and unicasting to overcome the issue of higher overhead due to flooding. Unicasting is used when the desired destination is at a minimum distance to avoid an extra overhead and increases the efficiency of the network in terms of overhead and energy because unicasting is favorable where the distance is minimum. Similarly, multicasting is used when the desired destination is at maximum distance and increases the network’s reliability in terms of throughput. The results are implemented in the Department of Computer Science, Bacha Khan University Charsadda (BKUC), Pakistan, as well as in the Network Simulator-2 (NS-2). The results are compared with benchmark schemes such as PUMA and ERASCA, and based on the results, the performance of the proposed approach is improved in terms of overhead, throughput, and packet delivery fraction by avoiding flooding.
