Multimedia and real-time applications require bandwidth guarantees, which may be achieved by resource reservation. Several researches were done to propose efficient reservation MAC protocols for ad-hoc networks. In these schemes, channel is segmented into super-frames composed of fixed number of slots. They allocate slots to each traffic source, and make sure that neighbor nodes record the reservation in order to ensure consistency of reservations between neighbor nodes. However, resource reservation in ad-hoc networks remain a very challenging task due to the instability of radio channels, node mobility and lack of coordination between mobile nodes. Proposed reservation MAC protocols like CATA, FPRP, R-CSMA and SRMA/PA have limitations and are suitable only for particular situations. In this paper, we propose a comparative analysis of the most representative reservation MAC protocols. We identify the major issues unresolved by reservation MAC protocols. A performance evaluation and comparative analysis with the IEEE 802.11e are achieved through the NS-2 simulator.

In ad hoc network, the topology of network changes frequently due to the mobile nature of nodes where the communication is possible without any fixed network infrastructure. Mobile nodes are battery operated and so energy efficient routing should be provided which increases the network life time. The existing routing mechanisms do not consider both hop count and energy of nodes for data transmission. In this paper we propose a routing mechanism where data transfer from source to destination is based on the minimum hop count and residual energy of mobile nodes. The proposed RPAR protocol shows better performance when compared to existing Energy power aware routing  protocol .The analysis is carried out by using network simulator (NS-2), the simulation results shows that the proposed routing mechanism provides energy efficient and reliable  routing in ad hoc networks.

This paper focuses on secure data communication between nodes in Ad-Hoc networks by employing IPSec (Internet Protocol Security). In wireless communication, Ad-Hoc network is a new paradigm since, which is used for highly sensitive and emergency operations. Ad-Hoc network is considered a number of mobile nodes that are connected through wireless interfaces and moves arbitrarily. Ensuring security is one of the main issues due to its infrastructure less solutions. This research aims for IPSec protocol that provides security for an Ad-Hoc networking in a various applications. IPSec incorporates security model, i.e. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) into its framework. In this work, we consider the problem of incorporating security mechanisms to securing data communication for Ad-Hoc networks. We look at AODV routing protocol (Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector) in detail and it is used for secure routing. Simulation of IPSec protocol is simulated using NS-3 simulator. Results from NS-3 simulator is compared with AH, ESP, and AES in terms of Quality of Service parameters throughput, average processing time and average end-to-end delay.
