DRP: An Efficient Directional Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc

Overview This paper addresses the issue of routing in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) using directional antennas. Existing directional routing schemes either assume a complete network topology beforehand or simply use omni-directional routing schemes to forward packets in underlying directional environment. This paper proposes a Directional Routing Protocol (DRP) for MANETs. DRP is an on-demand directional routing protocol which assumes a cross layer interaction between routing and MAC layer and is inspired by Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol. The main features of DRP include an efficient route discovery mechanism, establishment and maintenance of Directional RouTing and Directional Neighbor Tables (DRT and DNT respectively) and novel directional route recovery mechanisms.

The Bloor Perspective: Intel and Linux; Orange and WAP; and Team Tandem make a comeback

Orange may intend to charge for premium WAP services - indeed, it's ideally placed to do so as it controls both the data feeds and the billing mechanisms - but when doing so they would do well to take these rules into account.

Router holes 'threaten the internet'

In April 1997, a small Virginia internet service provider misconfigured its router, leading it to advertise that it was the best route to the entire internet. The border gateway protocol, a widely used technology for efficiently routing data...

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

After looking up the packet's destination in the number's address tables, the router forwards the packet to the next router in the chain. The packet is forwarded along the most suitable route and so on.

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.
