Multi interface multi channel and improved AODV routing protocol
Aditi Mandape, Deepti P. Theng · 2014
The multi-interface multi-channel (MIMC) technique is used for the appropriate utilization of WMNs as backbone network. Switching delays and distribution of routes plays an important factor in multi-channel networks. The shortest route in a multi-channel network might include multiple channel-switching's which would cause further delay in transmission than a longer route which requires much lesser number of channel switches This paper presents the multiinterface multi-channel network and improved AODV routing protocol. When multiple channels are available, having more than one interface is helpful. IM-AODV (Improved MIMC AODV) includes the multi-target PREQ mechanism (M-PREQ), the predictive PREQ algorithm (P-PREQ), and the PREQ sender assignment algorithm for IEEE 802.11a.
