    Cross layer service driven adaptive retry limit for IEEE 802.11 mobile ad-hoc networks
    (2011) Manjappa, M.; Guddeti, G.
    Traffic in future Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is expected to carry a mix of real time multimedia, and non real time file transfer etc. Providing Quality of Service (QoS) for these different applications is difficult and the current research on MANET is choosing the Cross Layer Design for providing QoS. The packet loss due to collision is misinterpreted by MANET as route failure and this triggers route maintenance phase causing unnecessary overhead resulting in low throughput. In this paper, we propose a service driven cross layer model in order to increase the throughput by dynamically adjusting the limits of Request to Send (RTS) retransmission for different flows in the network according to the priority. Simulation is done in NS-2 and the proposed method is compared with IEEE 802.11 DCF MAC using two ad-hoc routing protocols namely AODV and DSR. The results show that the prioritized flow achieves higher throughput over un-prioritized flow when compared to IEEE 802.11 MAC. © 2011 IEEE.

    Distance based termite algorithm for mobile ad-hoc networks
    (2012) Manjappa, M.; Praveenkumar, G.H.; Guddeti, G.
    Providing Quality of Service (QoS) in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET's) is difficult due to dynamic nature of its topology. Today's research trends show that Swarm Intelligence (SI) can be used effectively to provide QoS in MANET and also MANET is not much explored in the area of SI. Motivated by their self organizing behavior and robustness many routing algorithms have been proposed for both wired and wireless networks. SI routing algorithms are driven by mainly two functions, Pheromone update-decay functions and Forwarding functions. In this paper, a new pheromone update and decay function for Termite algorithm is proposed for MANET which reflects the current context of the network that is the distance between the Mobile Nodes at the time of transmitting the packets. Received Signal Strength (Pr) from Physical Layer is used to find the distance and it is made visible at the Network Layer through Cross Layer Model. The proposed model is simulated and the results are compared with the existing methods and the metric used for the comparison are throughout and control packet overhead. The results show that the new distance based pheromone update and decay methods perform better than the other existing methods. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
