Link-state Advertisement Based Source Routing Protocol for MANET with Unidirectional Links
نویسندگان
چکیده
In ad hoc networks, a communication link between two mobile nodes is not always bidirectional, i.e. unidirectional, since the different characters of networks and nodes. This paper studies unidirectional links which are general and universal in ad hoc networks and proposes a routing protocol LSARP (link-state advertisement based source routing protocol). LSARP can support unidirectional links to improve the routing efficiency. In LSARP, unidirectional link-state advertisement based power adjustment mechanism (ULABPA) is designed. ULABPA can improve the network connectivity. Simulation results show the performance of LSARP is better than the traditional routing protocols in many aspects.

Improving Quality of Service Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using OLSR
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are receiving a significant interest and are becoming very popular in the world of wireless networks and telecommunication. MANETs consist of mobile nodes which can communicate with each other without any infrastructure or centralized administration. In MANETs, the movement of nodes is unpredictable and complex; thus making the routing of the packets challenging....
متن کاملUnidirectional Link-State Routing with Propagation Control
Unidirectional links can occur in wireless networks and mixed-media networks. However, the vast majority of routing algorithms proposed to date require bidirectional links to operate. We present an efficient link-state routing algorithm, which we call ULPC, that operates with unidirectional links. ULPC is based on the concept of “inclusive cycle” of a link, which is the distance that link-state...

Experiments with wireless sensor networks have shown that unidirectional communication links are quite common. What is even more, they have also shown that the range of a unidirectional link can exceed that of a bidirectional one by far. Still, most of todays routing protocols do not use them, they only eliminate their implications. Those protocols that do use unidirectional links introduce a l...
متن کاملLink-state routing in networks with unidirectional links
It is shown that a unidirectional link of a network can be used for routing only if it has an inclusive cycle, which is a path that can carry routing updates from the downstream node to the upstream node joined by the unidirectional link. A new routing algorithm for networks with unidirectional links is then presented, which incrementally disseminates linkstate information and selectively utili...
