Appendix C: Route Discovery
O.K. Tonguz, Gianluigi Ferrari · 2006
Route DiscoveryIn this appendix, we comment briefly on the route discovery phase.In the model and analysis presented in Chapter 7, we have neglected this phase of communication, which, in reality, may have a significant impact on the overall delay experienced by a source node.More precisely, the delay in discovering a route should be added to the queuing delay for both RB (shown in Figure 7.3) and NRB (shown in Figure 7.5) schemes, respectively.Note that the route discovery phase refers to the phase that starts when a source node broadcasts a route discovery message until the moment when a source node knows how to reach the destination.
