LANMAR: Landmark Routing for Large Scale Wireless Ad Hoc Networks With Group Mobility

Overview This paper presents a novel routing protocol for wireless ad hoc networks - Landmark Ad Hoc Routing (LANMAR). LANMAR combines the features of Fisheye State Routing (FSR) and Landmark routing. The key novelty is the use of landmarks for each set of nodes which move as a group (e.g., a team of co-workers at a convention or a tank battalion in the battlefield) in order to reduce routing update overhead. Like in FSR, nodes exchange link state only with their neighbors. Routes within Fisheye scope are accurate, while routes to remote groups of nodes are "Summarized" by the corresponding landmarks.

Butler on: Collaboration

This is great in terms of improving automation, and the routing of information. On the other hand, ad hoc, unstructured collaboration can dramatically improve personal productivity, reducing the time spent searching for information or chasing answers.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The packets that make up the audio stream may take different routes from node to node over the network in question but and are put back into order at the termination point to make up the audio that we recognise as conversation.

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

The routing algorithm is based on the position of the vehicles and is able to handle the typically fast changes of ad hoc networks. But the efficacy of C2C systems is limited by the network effect: the more nodes there are, the more effective it is.

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.
