Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Cross-Layered Path Stability Based Routing Protocol for WiMAX NetworksM. Deva Priya, M. L. ValarmathiIn IEEE 802.16, a Subscriber Station (SS) is battery powered with limited capacity. A SS can be made to operate for longer durations by deploying power saving features or by using relay stations. Multi-hop communication conserves power, but finding an optimal path to the destination is monotonous. Path stability indicates how stable a path is and how long it can … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 9 Sep 2013 · 6,677 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Improved Resource Reservation ProtocolDesire Oulai, Steven Chamberland, Samuel PierreThe classical resource reservation protocol (RSVP) is a flow-based signaling protocol used for reserving resources in the network for a given session. RSVP maintains state information for each reservation at every router along the path. Even though this protocol is very popular, he has some weaknesses. Indeed, RSVP does not include a bidirectional reservation process and it requires refresh messages … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,491 accessesView PDFCite
