Performance Comparison of Ad-Hoc Routing Protocols for Networks With Node Energy Constraints

Tags:
switching

Overview A major issue with ad-hoc networks is energy consumption since nodes are usually mobile and battery-operated. This paper compares the performance of ad-hoc routing protocols in a network where each participating mobile node has a given battery life and will shut-down when a threshold is reached. It studies two routing protocols, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing (DSDV), by comparing the node termination rate as well as the over-all goodput of the network. From the simulations it observes that in high node density, DSR performs better than DSDV. The performance gap can be decreased by smaller number of nodes in the network or more path loss and shadowing variance.

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

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...

Radioactive: Taipei gets meshed up

Because each node relies on those next to it to interoperate, they need to speak the same lingo. Each device will be own its own network router, relaying data to the next node (another 4G) phone. For fixed networks to have any-to-any connectivity...

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

What's unique about the car-to-car initiative is that it relies on very little fixed infrastructure: instead of a car connecting to an IP cloud, it is essentially a node on a network of other cars, fully meshed with other cars in close proximity.

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.
