Mitigating the Flooding Waves Problem in Energy-Efficient Routing for MANETs

Overview In wireless Mobile Adhoc NETworks (MANETs) channel and energy capacities are scarce resources, a lot of energy-efficient routing protocols for MANETs have been previously proposed to take into consideration the nodes' residual energies when establishing routes between source-destination pairs. This paper is not trying to introduce a new routing algorithm to be added to the already proposed stack of energy-efficient protocols, but rather, it identifies a problem in cost-based energy-efficient routing for MANETs, the paper calls this problem "Flooding Waves". It shows that the "Flooding Waves" is a serious problem in dense networks, to the extent that the excessive energy overhead consumed in these waves can outweigh the gain achieved by energy-efficient path selection.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
