As the growth of ubiquitous services, various types of ad hoc networks have emerged. In particular, wireless sensor networks (WSN) and mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are widely known ad hoc networks, but there are also other kinds of wireless ad hoc networks in which the characteristics of the aforementioned two network types are mixed together. This paper proposes a variant of the Low Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy (LEACH) routing protocol modified to be suitable in such a combined network environment. That is, the proposed routing protocol provides node detection and route discovery/maintenance in a network with a large number of mobile sensor nodes, while preserving node mobility, network connectivity, and energy efficiency. The proposed routing protocol is implemented with a multi-hop multi-path algorithm, a topology reconfiguration technique using node movement estimation and vibration sensors, and an efficient path selection and data transmission technique for a great many moving nodes. In the experiments, the performance of the proposed protocol is demonstrated by comparing it to the conventional LEACH protocol.

Ad-hoc network is a multi-hop wireless network formed by a collection of mobile nodes without the aid of any establish infrastructure and this network can provide an extremely flexible method for establishing communications for fire, safety, rescue operations, battle field or other fields requiring rapidly deployable communications with survivable, efficient dynamic networking. Recently new expended mechanism is proposed as Ad-hoc relay system, so guarantee of QoS for multimedia applications is needed more and more. In this paper, we propose ARM based QoS Distribution Monitoring Mechanism to provide Quality of Service guarantees to multimedia application with MANET.

With the extension of wireless technology, vehicular ad hoc networks provide important services for the dissemination of general data and emergency warnings. However, since, the vehicle topology frequently changes from a dense to a sparse network depending on the speed of the moving vehicles and the time of day, vehicular ad hoc networks require a protocol that can facilitate the efficient and reliable dissemination of emergency messages in a highly mobile environment under dense or intermittent vehicular connectivity. Therefore, this paper proposes a new vehicular broadcast protocol, called BL-CAST, that can operate effectively in both dense and sparse network scenarios. As a low overhead multi-hop broadcast protocol, BL-CAST does not rely on the periodic exchange of beacons for updating location information. Instead, the location information of a vehicle is included in a broadcast message to identify the last rebroadcasting vehicle in an intermittently connected network. Simulation results show that BL-CAST outperforms the DV-CAST protocol in terms of the end-to-end delay, message delivery ratio and network overhead.

With the advent of Ubiquitous environment, wired-wireless combination network is being studied very actively in which mobile nodes having multi-hop communication capability connect wired internet network easily, and shares the information. The study of wired and wireless combination network between MANET(Mobile Ad Hoc Network) and wired network is being focused only on the configuration of heterogeneous network interface. The proposed algorithm establishes independent multi-paths between source node and destination node to prevent data loss when errors happen in route. As the result, it shows that the reliability of the combination network can be improved by making data transmit continuously on the route error.

A Wi-Fi mesh network providing multi-hop wireless connections based on IEEE 802.11 PHY/MAC technology has recently received a significant attention as a network infrastructure that interconnects RFID systems and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, the current IEEE 802.11 contention-based MAC protocol cannot fully utilize the network capacity due to eithor frame collisions or unused network resources. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-channel scheduling MAC (MCS-MAC) protocol for Wi-Fi mesh networks. Under the secondary interference model of Wi-Fi mesh networks, the MCS-MAC protocol can maximize the network throughput via activation of collision-free links that has a maximal link weight. Through the simulations, we show that the throughput of the MCS-MAC protocol is at least three times higher than that of existing MAC protocols in Wi-Fi mesh networks.

The information of localization is a fundamental requirement in wireless sensor network (WSN). The method of distance vector-hop (DV-Hop), a range-free localization algorithm, can locate the ordinary nodes by utilizing the connectivity and multi-hop transmission. However, the error of the estimated distance between the beacon nodes and ordinary nodes is too large. In order to enhance the positioning precision of DV-Hop, fast triangle flip bat algorithm, which is based on curve strategy and rank transformation (FTBA-TCR) is proposed. The rank is introduced to directly select individuals in the population of each generation, which arranges all individuals according to their merits and a threshold is set to get the better solution. To test the algorithm performance, the CEC2013 test suite is used to check out the algorithm's performance. Meanwhile, there are four other algorithms are compared with the proposed algorithm. The results show that our algorithm is greater than other algorithms. And this algorithm is used to enhance the performance of DV-Hop algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm receives the lower average localization error and the best performance by comparing with the other algorithms.

Recently, multimedia application users who demand for ubiquitous computing environment are rapidly increasing, and wireless mesh network is receiving attention as a cost-effective key technology for next generation wireless networking. When multiple flows are transmitting data at the same time in the network, routing for path selection of each flow and link resource allocation for data transmission of each flow are one of the key factors that influence to the effectiveness of the network directly. In this paper, we consider problems for path discovery and resource allocation of links at the same time and we propose an algorithm based on mathematical modeling using a technique for cross-layer optimization design in STDMA-based wireless mesh networks that can enhance transfer performance for each flow. We show by performance analysis that the proposed algorithm can enhance the throughput performance by maximally utilizing given bandwidth resources when the number of flows increase in multi-hop wireless mesh networks.

In this paper, we propose a method for throughput improvement in multirate multihop wireless networks with intra-session network coding. A multirate transmission supports several rates so that it has a tradeoff between transmission rate and transmission range, therefore multirate can cope with the performance degradation. We present the rate selection method with intra-session network coding in multirate nodes. The effective transmission rate is calculated by using intra-session network coding, and then its maximum effective transmission rate is selected. Concurrent transmission set is determined by selected transmission rate and then the linear programming is formulated for throughput calculation in multihop wireless networks. We evaluate the performance by using MATLAB and lp_solve programs in two topologies. It is shown that the throughput of the proposed method is improved.

Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices. And It can be expected to be deployed in an ad hoc networs. MAC is different from traditional wireless MACs such as IEEE 802.11 in almost every way. so self-configuration and power saving in sensor network are very important goals, while per-node fairness and latency are less important. In this paper, so we use a given prototype for efficient energy conservation to reduce power consumtion that is one of the important character in sensor network and compare energy consumption and collision with IEEE 802.11 MAC. finally we conclude the paper and analyze it.
