Routing metrics design for multihop wireless networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of a routing protocol must be based on the characteristics of its target networks. The diversity of wireless networks motivate the design of different routing metrics, capturing different aspects of wireless communications. The design of routing metrics, however, is not arbitrary since it has a great impact on the proper operation of routing protocols. Combining a wrong type of routing metrics with a routing protocol may result in routing loops and suboptimal paths. In this paper, we thoroughly study the relationship between routing metrics and routing protocols. Our work provides several guidelines for designing routing metrcs and identify the specific properties that a routing metric must have in order to be combined with certain type of routing protocols.

متن کاملA Fuzzy-based Routing Strategy for Multihop Cognitive Radio Networks
Cognitive radio networks represent a new class of wireless networks where the channels are not permanently available, depending on the traffic activity of licensed users who have the priority to use these channels. We design a novel routing procedure for multihop cognitive radio networks composed of adequate metrics and a strategy to combine these metrics. The objective is then to increase chan...

A new routing metric for multihop wireless ad hoc networks is presented. The proposed metric is based on the computation of signal-to-noise ratio and path minimization of wireless ad hoc network outage probability in a fading environment. This metric improves the quality of service by reducing the number of dropped packets. Further, by modeling the network with a Trellis diagram and then using ...
