Concept of ADSR for Mobile AdHoc Networks/Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless AdHoc and sensor networks are very broadly used in many remote applications. AdHoc networks still have problems in conveying data from one node to other node. This problem further increases with the mobile nodes. Now a days different routing algorithms are being developed for mobile wireless AdHoc networks. In this paper, some of them are discussed. Mobile Ad hoc networks and Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks are similar to each other as both depend on hop-to-hop routing. So, protocols developed for Mobile ad-hoc networks are also used in many Mobile sensor applications. In this paper Angle based DSR is discussed, which is developed for Mobile AdHoc networks or mobile Wireless Sensor Networks and derived from changes done in DSR, which was developed for MANETs. Moto of this paper is to give an idea that other protocols which were developed for MANETs can be completely used in Mobile WSNs, by having angle-based mechanism, as described in ADSR.
