Numerous attributes of wireless networks, like mobility, frequent disconnections and varying channel conditions, have made it a tough task to develop networking protocols for wireless communications. In this report, we deal with numerous issues associated with both the routing layer and medium
Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of communication devices or nodes that wish to communicate without any fixed infrastructure and pre-determined organization of available links. The nodes in MANET themselves are responsible for dynamically discovering other nodes to communicate. Although
The Smart Stone Protocol (SSP) has been developed to achieve rapid synchronization in a wireless sensor network, establish Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) communication slots, and perform distributed sensing with global shared awareness… Contents 1.

An important concept in network security is trust, interpreted as a relation among entities that participate in various protocols. Trust relations are based on evidence related to the previous interactions of entities within a protocol. In this work, we are focusing on
Ad-hoc wireless networks distinguish themselves from their traditional wired counterparts by three unique characteristics: mobility, lack of infrastructure, and shared wireless channel. These properties have gained popularity in various military and civilian applications, but have also introduced challenging problems in terms of
The ongoing efforts to apply advanced technologies to help solve transportation problems advanced the growing trend of integrating mobile wireless communications into transportation systems. In particular, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) allow vehicles to constitute a decentralized traffic information system on roadways
Connectivity is one of the most fundamental properties of wireless ad-hoc networks as most network functions are predicated upon the network being connected. Although increasing node transmission power will improve network connectivity, too large a power level is not feasible as energy
CMAX and max-min zPmin are two packet forwarding techniques designed to save energy wireless ad-hoc networks. Their aim is to forward packets in such a way that the network’s energy is conserved better than if they were forwarded along the path with
