Novel lifetime routing metric for IEEE 802.11 wireless mesh networks
We propose least critical lifetime routing LCLR for improving the lifetime of battery operated 802.11 wireless mesh networks. Our protocol uses a novel expected lifetime metric to identify the critical node in a path and adjusts the amount of traffic ...
MANTRA: an ultra lightweight cipher design for ubiquitous computing
In this paper, we are proposing an ultra lightweight cipher MANTRA. MANTRA is a Feistel-based network which operates on 64-bit plain text and supports 128/80-bit key length. It needs very less footprint area and consumes only 1662 gate equivalents for ...
A novel approach to improve power management in wireless local area networks
In recent years wireless local area networks WLANs, which generally consist of many access points APs, have been deployed rapidly in corporate offices and universities, in order to satisfy user demands for high bandwidth and mobility. However, as a ...
An efficient data gathering algorithm for large-scale wireless sensor networks with mobile sinks
Recently, wireless sensor networks with mobile sinks mWSN have attracted massive attention attributed to the benefits of mobility. The updating of routing, however, will generate a lot of control packets due to the movements of mobile sinks in mWSN, ...
SNR-based relay selection in cooperative wireless ad hoc networks
Cooperative communications aim to gain spatial diversity from stations cooperating during data transmission without requiring multiple transceiver antennas on the same station. However, performance from cooperative communications highly depends on the ...
QoS-aware routing protocol using adaptive retransmission of distorted descriptions in MDC for MANETs
Quality of service QoS of delay sensitive application like video stream is majorly affected by instantaneous channel conditions over noisy mobile ad-hoc networks MANETs. Methods like forward error correction FEC and automatic repeat request ARQ, ...
