Smart packet agent is an application that is proposed to provide routing protocol and service module in ubiquitous network environment. However, it uses multi-hop broadcast, thus it causes increasing network traffic, low-speed data transmission, and the unnecessary joining nodes. In this paper, a transmit technique that uses unicast-based multi-hop to have lower network traffic and faster transmission time than the multi-hop broadcast technique. In our scheme, u-Zone Master establishes temporary routing paths by calculating moving nodes' hop-counter. Therefore, it reduces smart packet agent's network traffic and retransmission rate. Besides, this paper proposed an UDP transmission that bases on sliding window. Hence, the Stop & Wait transmission speed is improved. The results, which are taken by analyzing performance prove that the proposed scheme has better performance.

Energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks(EH-WSNs) can collect energy from the environment and overcome the technical limitations of existing power. Since the transmission distance in a wireless sensor network is limited, the data are delivered to the destination node through multi-hop routing. In EH-WSNs, the routing protocol should consider the power situations of nodes, which is determined by the remaining power and energy-harvesting rate. In addition, in applications such as environmental monitoring, when there are urgent data, the routing protocol should be able to transmit it stably and quickly. This paper proposes an adaptive routing protocol that satisfies different requirements of normal and urgent data. To extend network lifetime, the proposed routing protocol reduces power imbalance for normal data and also minimizes transmission latency by controlling the transmission power for urgent data. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive routing can improve network lifetime by mitigating the power imbalance and greatly reduce the transmission delay of urgent data.

In wireless sensor networks where there is no centralized base station, each node has limited transmission range and the multi-hop routing for transmitting data to the destination is the one of the important technical issues. In particular, the wireless sensor network is not powered by external power source but operates by its own battery, so it is required to maximize the network life through efficient use of energy. To balance the power consumption, the residual power based adaptive power control is required in routing protocol. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol that prolongs the network lifetime by balancing the power consumption among the nodes by controlling the transmit power according to the residual power. We evaluate the proposed routing protocol using extensive simulation, and the results show that the proposed routing scheme can balance the power consumption and prolong network lifetime.

In wireless mesh networks multi-rate technology environment, a mesh node can dynamically modify the data transmission rate on a particular link, in response to link distance, or more accurately, the perceived SNR ratio between neighbor nodes. In such networks, existing route selection schemes use a link quality metric. Thus, these schemes may easily result in the network being overloaded. In this paper, a new route metric is proposed; it considers both per-hop service delay and link quality at mesh nodes. In addition, the Load-Aware AODV (LA-AODV) protocol using the proposed metric is presented. The performance evaluation is performed by simulation using the OPNET simulator. It is demonstrated that the LA-AODV protocol outperforms the existing routing protocols using other existing route metrics in multi-rate WMN environment.

One of the most famous proactive routing protocols, DSDV (Destination -Sequenced Distance-Vector), is based on the minimum hop count. This paper suggests BIMP(Bypass Information Multi-Path) DSDV routing protocol that this protocol could route reliably as it can take the information of the bypass for the solution of the problem on EHMP DSDV. In this paper, the protocol checks throughput, packet delivery delay, packet delivery ratio, number of management messages, packet transmit finish time, etc on the traffic compared to DSDV, HMP DSDV, and EHMP DSDV protocols.

For the wireless mesh networks, efficient routing protocol is required to transmit data from source to destination node through multi-hop transmission. Multipath routing enable the stable data transmission even in the case of traffic congestion or unstable link. In this paper, we propose partial multipath routing which does not make a full multipath but partial for some parts of unstable links. This partial multipath routing reduce the number of nodes for routing and minimized the required power.

In a mobile ad hoc networks, multi-hop transmission is used to transfer data from source node to destination node and the routing protocol is the one of the important technical issues. The links between nodes can be unstable due to the changes of node location and channel conditions, and it can induce link error. To solve this problem, multipath routing was proposed. Multipath routing can reduce the data congestion and increase data throughput. In the multipath routing, however, each path can be interfered by the other path, and it can aggravate network performance. In this paper, we propose the multipath routing technique in the multi-rate MANET. The proposed multipath routing can avoid interference without the knowledge of node location. Simulation results show that the proposed multipath routing can reduce transmission delay and error.

A wireless sensor network communication technique has been broadly studied with continuous advances in ubiquitous computing environment. Especially, because the resource of the sensor node is limited, it is important to reduce the communication energy by using an energy-efficient routing protocol. The existing cluster-based routing protocols have a problem that they cannot select a cluster head efficiently by randomly choosing a head. In addition, because the existing cluster-based routing protocols do not support the large scale of network, they cannot be used for various applications. To solve the above problems, we, in this paper, propose a new cluster-based routing protocol using representative paths. The proposed protocol constructs an efficient cluster with distributed cluster heads by creating representative paths based on hop count. In addition, a new routing protocol supports multi-hop routing for data communication between a cluster member node and a cluster head as well as between cluster heads. Finally, we show that our protocol outperforms LEACH and Multihop-LEACH in terms of reliability and scalability.

We proposed a simple and efficient routing protocol designed specifically for multi-hop ad-hoc networks. The proposed protocol is composed of the two routing tables which work together to allow nodes to send and receive packets. All aspects of the protocol can be operated on networks entirely consisting bidirectional links and networks with unidirectional links. Finding unidirectional link is embedded in the routing protocol since we considered not only bidirectional links but also unidirectional links when we developed a routing method.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of a lot of sensor nodes having limited transmission range. So multi-hop transmission is used for communication among nodes but the multi-hop transmission degrade the end-to-end reliability. Multipath routing and opportunistic routing are typical approaches for guaranteeing end-to-end reliability in WSNs. The existing protocols improve the reliability effectively in small networks but they suffer from rapid performance degradation in large networks. In this paper, we propose the opportunistic multipath routing protocol for guaranteeing end-to-end reliability in large WSNs. Applying multipath routing and opportunistic routing simultaneously is very hard because their conflicting routing features. The proposed protocol applies these approaches simultaneously by section-based routing thereby enhancing end-to-end reliability. Additionally, the proposed protocol guarantees required reliability by the concept of section reliability. The section reliability over a certain level might satisfy required end-to-end reliability. Our simulation results show that the proposed protocol is more suitable for guaranteeing reliability than existing protocols in large-scale WSNs.
