How Can I Pick A Research Topic From Routing Protocols

Routing Protocols means the set of defined rules used by the routers to perform the communication between source & destination nodes in the simulations or real time implementations. The routing protocols used to reducing the internet traffic across single or multiple networks

The three types of Network Routing Protocols are , available  like,

• Static routing
• Default Routing
• Dynamic Routing

Static routing is a process in which we have to manually add routes in routing table. Default Routing is the method where the router is configured to send all packets towards a single router (next hop), by use the dynamic routing protocols  we can add information to their routing tables from connected routers automatically. The dynamic protocols are send out topology updates whenever the network changes’ topological structure.

List of Protocols

There are many routing protocols available in three subcategories. Proactive [OLSR,DSDV], reactive[AODV,DSR] and hybrid [ZRP,DDR]

Research Issues in Routing

• IPV4 and also IPV6 routing Issues
• optimal path selection issues in routing protocol
• Finding out shortest routing/path protocol
• Energy efficient process issues in routing method
• Delay constraint related routing strategy
• Cost optimized based routing mechanism
• Power aware routing issues in green networks
• Multicast routing issues

The current efficient research process is going on RPL , AODV , LOADng, RPL in Cooja etc. the routing protocols research used to increasing network lifetime.. The area of IoT going to hold most of the future research in the routing protocols will be most useful.

In the another point of view the MPL ( multicasting for low power lossy) is the another one efficient area of  research process. And also we can perform the research process in the following area’s, like , Congestion Control, Mobility, and Scalability and  Opportunistic routing and also Location privacy

Networking areas

We can perform the routing process in the following networking areas such as

• SDN
• WSN
• 5G/6G
• VANET
• MANET
• Cellular Networks
• Cognitive Radio Networks
• IoT and IoV
• And many more

For example, if you choose VANET as your research area, then , during  designing the routing protocol, you need to consider the following research issues.

In currently, there are many routing protocols have been Available so far to compete with sudden changes , which is based on the nature of the networks. The following process are the major barriers for routing protocols in networks, like   Route discovery, route maintenance and sudden change in the topology.  

Issues in VANET routing

1. The one of  major issue in vanet is, now , the  Mobility Bandwidth constraint Error prone shared broadcast radio channel hidden and exposed terminal problems Resource Constraints.

2. The another one issue is ,the Mobility highly dynamic frequent path breaks frequent topology changes.

Routing Protocol Design Constraints For Vanet

• During The Routing Protocol Design , We Need To Consider The Routing Methods Such As Broadcast, Geocast And Cluster Based Routing Methods.
• We Need To Propose New  Routing Algorithms To Provide Reliable Qos For Safety And Comfort Applications In Vanet.
• To Perform The  Efficiencies In Real Situation , We Need To Consider The Different Position Based Routing Protocols , Which Is Evaluated In Real Environment Of Vanet.
• We Need To Measure The Performance Metrics Such As End-To-End Delay, Average Routing Overhead And Packet Delivery Ratio Etc For Both Topology-Based And Position-Based Routing Methods In Vanet.
• Next Investigate The Security Attacks To Perform The Secure Routing Process. Because  There Are Possible For Occure The Attacks In The Unsecure And Ad Hoc Nature Of Vanet.
• The Research Need For Scalability Improvement Based On Integrate Multiple Performance Metrics Into A Routing Protocol
