This study highlights the importance of the physical layer and its impact on network performance in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). This was demonstrated by simulating various MANET scenarios using Network Simulator-2 (NS-2) with enhanced capability by adding propagation loss models (e.g., modified Two-Ray Ground model, ITU Line of Sight and Nonline of Sight (ITU-LoS and NLoS) model into street canyons and combined path loss and shadowing model (C-Shadowing)). The simulation results were then compared with the original Two-Ray Ground (TRG) model already available intoNS-2. The scenario primarily simulated was that of a mobile environment using Random Way Point (RWP) mobility model with a variable number of obstacles in the simulation field (such as buildings, etc., causing variable attenuation) in order to analyze the extent of communication losses in various propagation loss models. Performance of the Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol was also analyzed in an ad hoc environment with 20 nodes.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is involved in dealing with physical items, gadgets, vehicles, structures, and different things that are inserted into hardware, programming, sensors, and system availability, which empowers these items to gather and trade information. Improving extraction of sensor-based data for energy awareness and then annotating it and converting it into semantically enabled form for analyzing results with the use of improved tools and applications are the focus of this research. However, as the amount of real time data gets huge, it becomes difficult to track results when needed at once. Reconciliation of heterogeneous information sources into an interlinked data is a standout among the most pertinent difficulties for some learning based systems these days. This paper forms suitable elements by a methodology for adjustment of heterogeneous sensor-based Web assets, where different tools and applications like weather detection for self-observing and self-diagnostics use dispersed human specialists and learning. The proposed general model uses a capability of the Semantic Web innovation and concentrates on the part of a semantic adjustment of existing broadly utilized models of information representation to Resource Description Framework (RDF) based semantically rich arrangement. This work is valuable for sorting out and inquiry of the detecting information in the Internet of Things.
In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of a Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) using the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol with groups of nodes moving according to the Reference Point Group Mobility (RPGM) model. Four different random mobility models, Levy-Walk, Probabilistic Random Waypoint, Random Direction and Random Walk were selected for group leader's mobility and the effects of changing communication load and transmission ranges were investigated. The results indicate that the performance of DSR is better if group leaders follow Levy-Walk mobility pattern regardless of load and range. The performance of DSR is worse if the leader's mobility behaves like Rand-Dir or Rand Walk mobility models. This study concludes that the behaviour of leaders mobility may have significant impact on the network performance in MANETS.
