Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA New Strategy for Signaling Overhead Reduction in the Proxy Mobile IPv6 ProtocolAdnan J. Jabir, S. Shamala, Z. ZuriatiProblem statement: The rapid growth of the Internet usage has been realized by the Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6). Concurrent to these technological advances is the communication overheads. Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) has been standardized to overcome the long handoff latency, packet loss and signaling overhead of MIPv6 and to exempt the mobile node from any involvement in the handoff process. Although … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 13 Feb 2012 · 7,500 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulticast-Supported Fast Handover for Proxy Mobile IPv6V. Berlin Hency, D. SridharanProxy Mobile IPv6 is a network-based mobility management protocol which is attractive as it does not require the participation of mobile nodes in mobility-related signaling. Unlike the host based approaches like Mobile IPv6, in PMIPv6 the Mobility Access Gateway (MAG) is responsible for tracking the movements of Mobile Node (MN) and to initiate the handover process. In this study, a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Apr 2013 · 6,306 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Skid Resistance for Different Roadway Surface TreatmentsOsama A. Abaza, Tanay Datta Chowdhury, Mahmoud ArafatPavement skid resistance impacts road functionality and can affect user safety and vehicle operation costs. This study was an investigation of the effect of sealcoats on skid resistance. Seven different sealcoats-fog seal, chip seal, slurry seal, sand seal, high-friction seal, cape seal, and glass seal-were lab and field tested. Laboratory samples were further tested in the field on pavement sections. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2017 · 8,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL HYBRID NODE LOCALIZATION ALGORITHM FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKSLiu Yu, Wang Haipeng, He You, Shen JianNode self-localization is one of the supporting technologies in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In this study, a distributed hybrid localization algorithm based on divide-and-conquer and refinement method is proposed. Firstly, the effect of ranging error in the Received Signal Strength (RSS) model on node localization is analyzed and the topology relations of anchors and unknown nodes are derived when the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 25 Nov 2013 · 6,878 accessesView PDFCite
