Improved rank-based multi-path routing in mobile ad-hoc networks
Ming‐Shen Jian, Chienting Lin · 2005
In this paper, we proposed an improved rank-based multipath routing (ImRMR) algorithm for mobile ad hoc network. The algorithm utilizes rank-based fitness to select multiple routing paths for transmission. It takes into consideration not only bandwidth and computing efficiency, but also power consumption, number of intermediate nodes, and traffic load. Based upon various bottleneck resource states, available routing paths are classified into a Pareto set and selected to transmit data. The results of our simulation showed that when compared to the eminent dynamic source routing (DSR), ImRMR exhibited higher performance, notably in terms of throughput, power consumption, and traffic patterns
