Performance analysis of communication model on position based routing protocol : review analysis

Research on the Vanet system always has its own challenges and obstacles. The communication system between nodes is certainly the main problem that is always faced. The communication model and concept in the routing protocol process is a very decisive choice to get good communication quality. Four categories in vanet system topology, namely position based routing protocols, broadcast based routing protocols, cluster based routing protocols and multicast/geocast routing protocols, have fundamental differences, especially in the concept of sending data and information between nodes. For this reason, in this study, the selection of standardization and integration of data delivery between nodes is of particular concern and is certainly an interesting thing to study more deeply. The ability to send data properly in busy and fast traffic conditions has its own challenges. For this, there are many variables that must be considered, so that communication between nodes will be better.

A Quasistraight Line Routing Protocol for Square Grid-Based Wireless Sensor Networks

Sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) are both energy-constrained and vulnerable to faults and disasters. Communication between the sensor nodes is generally hop-by-hop, and the nodes are distributed throughout the area to be covered. Broadcast-based routing protocols are not preferable in sensor networks since broadcasting is considered costly in terms of battery power consumption. In this paper, a digital quasistraight line segment- (DQSS-) based approach is employed for the detection of quasistraight line segments, i.e., for quasistraight path finding between WSN sensors arranged in a square grid. Comparative results show that the method is comparable with the best-known straight line finding algorithm in terms of path lengths and computation time. Moreover, the proposed method is capable of avoiding dead nodes by updating DQSS parameters dynamically during path finding. Hence, the proposed method is promising to be used in WSN square grids as a quasistraight line routing protocol.

Broadcast-based routing protocol for smart lighting systems

We consider a smart lighting system, where sensors and actuators deployed on lamp posts generate data intended for a sink at the end of a street, thus creating a linear wireless network (LWN). We propose a novel broadcast-based routing protocol for this type of networks. During an initial discovery phase each node identifies its neighbours and selects its best neighbour as the one closest to the sink. Data is then transmitted in broadcast, by prioritising the best neighbour as forwarder. The protocol allows packets to reach the sink through a small number of hops and consequently improve throughput and packet delivery probability compared to existing solutions. The proposed protocol has been implemented, tested and compared to standard solutions based on IEEE 802.15.4 and Zigbee. Experimental results, in terms of packet loss rate, throughput and number of hops to reach the sink, show the improvement with respect to the existing solutions.

PARO: supporting dynamic power controlled routing in wireless ad hoc networks

This paper introduces PARO, a dynamic power controlled routing scheme that helps to minimize the transmission power needed to forward packets between wireless devices in ad hoc networks. Using PARO, one or more intermediate nodes called "redirectors" elects to forward packets on behalf of source-destination pairs thus reducing the aggregate transmission power consumed by wireless devices. PARO is applicable to a number of networking environments including wireless sensor networks, home networks and mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, we present the detailed design of PARO and evaluate the protocol using simulation and experimentation. We show through simulation that PARO is capable of outperforming traditional broadcast-based routing protocols (e.g., MANET routing protocols) due to its energy conserving point-to-point on-demand design. We discuss our experiences from an implementation of the protocol in an experimental wireless testbed using off-the-shelf radio technology. We also evaluate the impact of dynamic power controlled routing on traditional network performance metrics such as end-to-end delay and throughput.
