Multicast Mesh based Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) provide efficient data transmission in energy restraint areas without a fixed infrastructure. In this paper, the authors present an improved version of protocol SLIMMER developed by them earlier, and name it SLIMMER-SN. Most mesh-based protocols suffer from redundancy; however, the proposed protocol controls redundancy through the concept of forwarding nodes. The proposed protocol uses remaining energy of a node to decide its energy efficiency. For measuring stability, a new metric called Stability of Node (SN) has been introduced which depends on transmission range, node density and node velocity. For data transfer, a weighted cost function selects the most energy efficient nodes / most stable nodes or a weighted combination of both. This makes the node selection criteria more dynamic. The protocol works in two steps: (1) calculating SN and (2) using SN value in the weighted cost function for selection of nodes. The study compared the proposed protocol, with other mesh-based protocols PUMA and SLIMMER, based on packet delivery ratio (PDR), throughput, end-to-end delay and average energy consumption under different simulation conditions. Results clearly demonstrate that SLIMMER-SN outperformed both PUMA and SLIMMER.

A cache is used for optimization of query forwarding in the Grid database. To decrease network transmission cost, frequently used data is cached from meta database. Existing cache management method has a unbalanced resource problem, because it doesn't manage replicated data in each node. Also, it increases network cost by cache misses. In the case of data modification, if cache is not updated, queries can be transferred to wrong nodes and it can be occurred others nodes which have same cache. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problems of existing method that are using unbalanced resource of replica and increasing network cost by cache misses. In this paper, cache management method for query forwarding optimization is proposed. The proposed method manages caches through cache manager. To optimize query forwarding, the cache manager makes caching data from lower loaded replicated node. The query processing cost and the network cost will decrease for the reducing of wrong query forwarding. The performance evaluation shows that proposed method performs better than the existing method.

In this paper, we present an algorithm called redundant logical paths (RLP) for efficient HSR traffic reduction. It creates redundant logical paths between each HSR node and all the other nodes. Eventually, a logical full-meshed network or paths will be established among all HSR node types, except the Quadbox type, which is used only for interconnection. The logical full-meshed network will be used instead of using the standard HSR protocol that depends on the concepts of the duplication and forwarding of the received frame until it reaches the destination node. The RLP algorithm results in significantly less frame traffic because there is no random forwarding as in the standard HSR protocol. For the sample network in this paper simulation results showed a 61.5-80% reduction in network frame traffic compared to the standard HSR. Our algorithm will avoid latency issues in the network and even network congestion, thus improving network efficiency.

The purpose of sensor network is gathering the information from sensor nodes. If there are selfish node that deliberately avoid packet forwarding to save their own energy, the sensor network has trouble to collect information smoothly. To solve this problem we suggest a mechanism which uses credit payment schema according to the amount of forwarding packets. Sensor nodes use credits to send their own message and they forward packets of other sensor nodes to get credits. To offer authenticity we combined the roles of sink node and server, also we used piggybacking not to send additional report message. The packet trace route is almost fixed because sensor node doesn't have mobility. In this case, it happens that some sensor nodes which don't receive forwarding packets therefore they can't get credit. So, we suggested the way to give more credits to these sensor nodes. Finally, we simulated the suggested mechanism to evaluate performance with ns2(network simulator). As a result, packet transmission rate was kept on a high rate and the number of arrival packets to sink node was increased. Also, we could verify that more sensor nodes live longer due to deceasing the energy consumption of sensor nodes.

V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) is a special kind of VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Network), which has high mobility and frequent topology changes and causes the link breakage problem. To resolve this problem, geographic routing protocols such as greedy forwarding are proposed. However, the greedy forwarding approach selects the node closest to the destination node as the transfer node within the transmission range so that it may cause many problems owing to many intersections and many changes in vehicular traffic in urban areas. The paper proposes a greedy perimeter urban routing (GPUR) algorithm considering the presence of 2-hop neighbor nodes and the road characteristics. Simulation results using ns-2 reveal that the proposed GPUR algorithm significantly reduces the routing error problem and the probability of local maximum than the existing routing protocols.

Forwarding in opportunistic networks shows low performance because there may be no connecting paths between the source and the destination nodes due to the intermittent connectivity. Currently, social network analysis has been researched. Specifically, similarity is one of methods of social networks analysis. In this paper, we propose forwarding schemes based on representative similarities, and evaluate how much the forwarding performance increases. As a result, since the forwarding schemes are based on similarities, these schemes only forward messages to nodes with higher similarity as relay nodes, toward the destination node. These schemes have low network traffic and hop count while having stable transmission delay.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can easily compromised from attackers because it has the limited resource and deployed in exposed environments. When the sensitive packets are occurred such as enemy's movement or fire alarm, attackers can selectively drop them using a compromised node. It brings the isolation between the basestation and the sensor fields. To detect selective forwarding attack, Xiao, Yu and Gao proposed checkpoint-based multi-hop acknowledgement scheme (CHEMAS). The check-point nodes are used to detect the area which generating selective forwarding attacks. However, CHEMAS has static probability of selecting check-point nodes. It cannot achieve the flexibility to coordinate between the detection ability and the energy consumption. In this paper, we propose the control method for the number fo check-point nodes. Through the control method, we can achieve the flexibility which can provide the sufficient detection ability while conserving the energy consumption.

Load balancing is a significant technique to prolong a network's lifetime in sensor network. This paper introduces a hybrid approach named as Load Distributing Hybrid Routing Protocol (LDHRP) composed with a border node routing protocol (BDRP) and greedy forwarding (GF) strategy which will make the routing effective, especially in mobility scenarios. In an existing solution, because of the high network complexity, the data delivery latency increases. To overcome this limitation, a new approach is proposed in which the source node transmits the data to its respective destination via border nodes or greedily until the complete data is transmitted. In this way, the whole load of a network is evenly distributed among the participating nodes. However, border node is mainly responsible in aggregating data from the source and further forwards it to mobile sink; so there will be fewer chances of energy expenditure in the network. In addition to this, number of hop counts while transmitting the data will be reduced as compared to the existing solutions HRLBP and ZRP. From the simulation results, we conclude that proposed approach outperforms well than existing solutions in terms including end-to-end delay, packet loss rate and so on and thus guarantees enhancement in lifetime.

Energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is one significant factor that needs to be considered when making any designs or doing any enhancements on the communication protocol stack. In WSNs using traditional geographic routing, when a sensor node receives a data packet that needs to be transmitted to the sink, it will forward the packet to the neighbor node which is closest to the sink. The traditional geographic routing assumes that the link quality is always 100%. This may cause a bad result as per which we waste too many energy for retransmissions between the two nodes. Thus, the problem here is how to select such node as forwarder at most efficiently in the aspect of both energy consumption and the distance toward the destination. The better node we choose, the more energy we can conserve for the whole network. In this paper, we propose a next-hop forwarding selection metric, called Energy Consumption for Transmission (ECT), which can resolve the above problem in the best way.

In this paper, we propose Restricted Angle-control Flooding considered density network of sensor nodes and node‘s limit energy. Restricted Angle-control Flooding, increase energy efficiency by reducing unnecessary candidate nodes involved in forwarding closer to the destination. And The Hole when faced with our proposal to raise rates data through Hole Detection which is sender‘s forwarding area is extended or broadcast to the entire network. Compared to the traditional flooding, we show the superiority at the node’s energy consumption, data rate and network lifetime through the performance.
