Types of Mobile Networks
Infrastructure networks
 Infrastructureless networks

Infrastructure Networks
It   is    based   on   the   cellular  concept    and    It  
    has        good        infrastructure .

    In  infrastructure   network    the   mobile   devices  
       are      communicating    with    the   others   through
       base     stations   connected   to   the   fixed
       network           infrastructure.

 Infrastructure Networks


Infrastructureless Networks

   infrastructureless   network    the    mobile
       wireless   network   is   commonly   known   as
       mobile     adhoc    network (MANET).

No pre existing Infrastructure


Ad hoc Network
A network connection established for a single session
Nodes have limited transmission range
Nodes act as a routers
Adhoc means "for this purpose."

MANET
MANET stands for "Mobile Ad Hoc Network."


A type of ad hoc network  that can change locations and configure itself on the fly for a special purpose.

Nodes are mobile


Manet can be stand alone or can be connected to internet

Characteristics of MANET


Infrastructure-less or with minimum infrastructure support.

Self-organizing and self-managing.

Most or all of the nodes are mobile.

Wireless communication.

Network topology changes dynamically
.
Node is working as  a host and a router.

Multi-hop.

Types of MANET
VANET

InVANET

iMANET

VANET

Vehicular Adhoc Network

Allows vehicles to communicate with roadside equipment

The wireless roadside equipment may be connected to the Internet, allowing data from the vehicles to be sent over the Internet.

The vehicle data may be used to measure traffic conditions or keep track of trucking fleets

InVANET

It is a kind of artificial intelligence that helps vehicles to behave in intelligent manners during vehicle-to-vehicle collisions, accidents, drunken driving etc

iMANET
ad hoc networks that link mobile nodes and fixed Internet-gateway nodes.

Simulation of MAnet

network simulation is a technique where a program models the behavior of a network  by calculating the interaction between the different network entities  using mathematical formulas


Two Ways to develop Simulations of MANET


Custom platform



One’s own simulation      


Simulators
OMNeT++
It  is a component-based, modular  and open-architecture framework.
It is written in C++

 OPNET
“Optimized Network Engineering Tools”
Proposed by MIT
It is actually the most widely used commercial simulation environment
NetSim or NS2

It is written in C++ and Python

Routing Algorithms

LINK STATE

Each node maintains a view of the network topology with a cost for each link


Periodically broadcast link costs to its outgoing links to all other nodes such as flooding
.
Distance Vector
Distributed Bellman-Ford


Every node maintains a routing table


Periodically send table to all neighbors to maintain topology

Adhoc Routing protocols

How nodes decide which way to route packets between computing devices in a mobile ad hoc network.

A new node may announce its presence and should listen for announcements broadcast by its neighbors

3 types of Routing
Pro active Routing
Reactive  Routing

Hybrid Routing


Proactive Routing


Table –driven

DSDV Protocol

Each node maintains routing information for all known destinations

Routing information must be updated periodically



DSDV (Table Entries)
Sequence number originated from destination. Ensures
loop freeness.
Install Time when entry was made (used to delete stale entries from table)
Stable Data Pointer to a table holding information on how stable a route is. Used to damp fluctuations in network.


DSDV (Route Advertisements)

Advertise to each neighbor own routing information
Destination Address
Metric = Number of Hops to Destination
Destination Sequence Number
Rules to set sequence number information
On each advertisement increase own destination sequence number (use only even numbers)

If a node is no more reachable (timeout) increase sequence number of this node by 1 (odd sequence number) and set metric = 

DSDV (Route Selection)
Update information is compared to its own routing table
1. Select route with higher destination sequence number (This ensure to use always newest information from destination)

2. Select the route with better metric when sequence numbers are equal.

Routing Protocols

Reactive Routing

A route is discovered when it is necessary
Eg.of Reactive Routing
DSR,ADOV,TORA

Hybrid Routing

The routing is initially established with some proactively prospected routes and then serves the demand from additionally activated nodes through reactive flooding.
