Simulation of Mobile Backbone Network

The Mobile Backbone Network (MBN) architecture has been introduced to support multimedia applications for mobile adhoc wireless network. Under the MBN architecture, backbone nodes are dynamically elected to construct a mobile backbone network (Bnet). The MBN employs Mobile Backbone Network Routing with Flow Control (MBNR-FC) mechanism. It reduces the routing control overhead by selectively flooding route discovery messages solely across the Bnet. The MBNR-FC protocol also guides routing to traverse areas that are less congested. When the synthesized Backbone net is unable to cover the whole network area, the use of backbone paths can limit the overall throughput capacity. It also presents a Mobile Backbone Network Routing with Flow Control and Distance Awareness Control (MBNR-FC/DA) scheme. Under the MBNR-FC/DA scheme, flows that travel a distance no longer than the distance threshold can employ non backbone routes In this way, the capacity of communication links that are located away from the Bnet is utilized to to upgrade the overall throughput capacity. Analytical procedure for the calculation of the effective distance threshold level under various the MBNR-FC/DA scheme.
