A Location-Aided Power-Aware Routing Protocol in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Overview In multi-hop wireless ad-hoc networks, designing energy-efficient routing protocols is critical since nodes are power-constrained. However, it is also an inherently hard problem due to two important factors: First, the nodes may be mobile, demanding the energy-efficient routing protocol to be fully distributed and adaptive to the current states of nodes; second, the wireless links may be uni-directional due to asymmetric power configurations of adjacent nodes. This paper proposes a location-aided power-aware routing protocol that dynamically makes local routing decisions so that a near-optimal power-efficient end-to-end route is formed for forwarding data packets. The protocol is fully distributed such that only location information of neighboring nodes is exploited in each routing node.

Fly me to the moon (and let us email round the stars)

The InterPlanetary Net Special Interest Group (IPNSIG, at http://www.ipnsig.org ) is a group that is trying to define the new protocol - based mostly on existing internet protocols - for how data is transmitted to and from spacecraft.

The Ovum View: The wireless LAN security nightmare

Although RC4 is used successfully elsewhere, the implementation decisions made in WEP exposed its inherent vulnerabilities. But experts have pointed out that using WAP phones for connection to the internet is made insecure by the discontinuity...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Forget 'think different' - think 'non-linear'...

Without exception their single biggest mistake has been to optimise the individual components of a serial process and then glue them together end to end as a complete system in the belief that the whole will then be optimal.

IP over everything?

The service provider uses Ethernet to transport IP traffic over optical wavelengths, coupled with Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), which it claims guarantees the timely delivery of the packets. All of which leaves enterprises in line for more...

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

But IP, of course, was not designed to provide a guaranteed quality of service (QoS) to the traffic it carries; it was originally designed as a way of diversely routing data to ensure redundancy in case network nodes were being jammed, crashed or...

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.
