This paper is primarily concerned with multi-path routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). We propose a novel associativity-based on-demand source routing protocol for MANETs that attempts to establish relatively stable path(s) between the source and the destination. We introduce a new notion for gauging the temporal and spatial stability of nodes, and hence the paths interconnecting them. The proposed protocol is compared with other unipath (DSDV and AODV) and multi-path (AOMDV) routing protocols. We investigate the performance in terms of throughput, normalized routing overhead, packet delivery ratio etc. All on-demand protocols show good performance in mobile environments with less traffic overhead compared to proactive approaches, but they are prone to longer end-to-end delays due to route discovery and maintenance.

There are various research challenges in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) that need to be focused until an extensive deployment of it becomes conceivable. Design and development of a scalable routing algorithm for VANETs is one of the critical issue due to frequent path disruptions caused by the vehicle's mobility. This study aims to provide a novel road-aware routing protocol for vehicular networks named as Two-level hierarchical Hybrid Road-Aware (THERA) routing for vehicular ad hoc networks. The proposed protocol is designed explicitly for inter-vehicle communication. In THERA, roads are distributed into non-overlapping road segments to reduce the routing overhead. Unlike other protocols, discovery process does not flood the network with packet broadcasts. Instead, THERA uses the concept of Gateway Vehicles (GV) for the discovery process. In addition, a route between source and destination is flexible to changing topology, as THERA only requires road segment ID and destination ID for the communication. Furthermore, Road-Aware routing reduces the traffic congestion, bypasses the single point of failure, and facilitates the network management. Finally yet importantly, this paper also proposes a probabilistical model to estimate a path duration for each road segment using the highway mobility model. The flexibility of the proposed protocol is evaluated by performing extensive simulations in NS3. We have used SUMO simulator to generate real time vehicular traffic on the roads of Gangnam, South Korea. Comparative analysis of the results confirm that routing overhead for maintaining the network topology is smaller than few previously proposed routing algorithms.

In base station based networks, traffic overload at the base station is inevitable. Peer-to-peer DTN which disperses the traffic overhead to each node can relieve the traffic overload at the base station. To increase the message delivery ratio and reduce the message overhead, we present novel routing using mobility information which can be obtained from each node, unlike the existing flooding based routings. In the proposed routing scheme, the routing decision metric, which is defined based on the node mobility information, is computed by using the expected distance between each node to the destination. The message is copied to other nodes that have lower expected distance to the destination than the value for the node willing to copy the message. We conducted simulations by using both a random mobility model and a real mobility trace to compare the performance of the proposed routing scheme to the existing routing scheme that does not utilize the mobility information. The performance evaluation showed the proposed routing successfully delivers messages with 10% to 30% less copies compared to previously proposed routing schemes.

With group mobility, minimizing routing overhead among intra-group nodes can be achieved by making longer the routing update period, which may lead to degradation of inter-group's routing performance and consequently the inter-group packet delivery success ratio will be decreased. To reduce the inter-group routing overhead without lowering the inter-group packet delivery success ratio, a mobility-adaptive routing update(MARU) scheme is proposed in this paper. Main idea of the proposed scheme is group-based mobility prediction and updating routing paths by selecting intermediate common relay groups.

In this paper, we study the various performance of Distributed QoS Routing according to how many level of routing table information in router. And we study Flooding and recently proposed 2-level forwarding, and compare with performance of implicit 3-level forwarding. Performance factors are message overhead that is generated on Distributed QoS Routing and Route Setup success Rate, Connection blocking rate, Network Utilization. They can decide the accuracy of routing information in rouser. Our simulation shows that more level of routing table information have, lower message overhead generate but lower performance at other factors because of inaccuracy of routing information.

The most critical research issue in MANET environment is on supporting reliable communication between various devices. Various Multi-Hop Routing Protocol studies have proceeded. However, some problems you might have found when you use the existing link state routing technique are that it increases Control Message Overhead and it is unstable when node moves in CR circumstance which has transformation of using channel and MIMC circumstance which uses a number of interfaces. This essay offers a technique which is based on On-Demand Hello and the other technique which used Broadcast Interface of optimization as a solution to decrease Control Message Overhead. Also it proposes Quick Route Restoration technique which is utilized by GPS and MPR Selection technique which consider mobility as a solution of stable communication when node moves. Those offered Routing Protocol and OPNET based simulator result will be expected to be an excellent comparison in related research fields.

IP address lookup is very crucial in performance of routers. Several works have been done on prefix caching to enhance the performance of IP address lookup. Since a prefix represents a range of IP addresses, a prefix cache shows better performance than an IP address cache. However, not every prefix is cacheable in itself. In a prefix cache it causes false hit to cache a non-leaf prefix because there is possibly the longer matching prefix in the routing table. Prefix expansion techniques such as complete prefix tree expansion (CPTE) make it possible to cache the non-leaf prefixes as the expanded forms, but it is hard to manage the expanded prefixes. The expanded prefixes sometimes incur a great deal of update overhead in a routing table. We propose a bitmap-based prefix cache (BMCache) to provide low update overhead as well as low cache miss ratio. The proposed scheme does not have any expanded prefixes in the routing table, but it can expand a non-leaf prefix using a bitmap on caching time. The trace-driven simulation shows that BMCache has very low miss ratio in spite of its low update overhead compared to other schemes.

MANET is a dynamically reconfigurable wireless network with no fixed infrastructure (base station, or AP). In order to provide the data service in MANET, we need an efficient routing protocol to deliver the data to the wanted destination at a mobile node. A method of routing protocols called reactive routing protocol has recently got attention because of their low routing overhead. But a method of flooding broadcasts the packet to all of its neighbors. For this reason, each of the node has high routing overhead to route and keep path discovery. Accordingly in this paper, I propose an adaptive flooding scheme using N-hop look-ahead in MANET, md an optimal N value of doing flooding the packet to limited area. Because of being basically ignorant about topological changes, each of the node did not spontaneously cope with path alteration. But an efficient flooding scheme applying N-hop look-ahead is more resilient to topology changes than traditional algorithms. And also with this efficient flooding scheme, the simulation results demonstrate excellent reduction of routing overhead.

Opportunistic routing is designed for an environment where there is no stable end-to-end routing path between source node and destination node, and messages are forwarded via intermittent contacts between nodes and routed using a store-carry-forward mechanism. In this paper, we consider PRoPHET(Probabilistic Routing Protocol using History of Encounters and Transitivity) protocol as a base opportunistic routing protocol and propose an efficient context-aware opportunistic routing protocol by using the context information of delivery predictability and node type, e.g., pedestrian, car, and tram. In the proposed protocol, the node types of sending node and receiving node are checked. Then, if either sending node or receiving node is tram, messages are forwarded by comparing the delivery predictability of receiving node with predefined delivery predictability thresholds depending on the combination of sending node and receiving node types. Otherwise, messages are forwarded if the delivery predictability of receiving node is higher than that of sending node, as defined in PRoPHET protocol. Finally, we analyze the performance of the proposed protocol from the aspect of delivery ratio, overhead ratio, and delivery latency. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better delivery ratio, overhead ratio, and delivery latency than PRoPHET protocol in most of the considered simulation environments.

Various test data compression techniques have been developed to reduce the test costs of system-on-a-chips. In this paper, a scan chain reordering algorithm for code-based test data compression techniques is proposed. Scan cells within an acceptable relocation distance are ranked to reduce the number of conflicts in all test patterns and rearranged by a positioning algorithm to minimize the routing overhead. The proposed method is demonstrated on ISCAS '89 benchmark circuits with their physical layout by using a 180 nm CMOS process library. Significant improvements are observed in compression ratio and test power consumption with minor routing overhead.
