MSR analysis in micro-mobility networks
Sasan Adibi · 2006
Here we investigate a routing analysis for an efficient routing in a mobile-IP using ad-hoc network. This involves a mechanism that utilises the multipath approach for load balancing described in Linifang Zhang et al (2002) and P. Phan, S. Perreau (2002). We believe that multipath load balancing technique would facilitate mobile-IP scheme with heavy multimedia applications and data on the run for fast handoff and handover mechanisms for minimal delay and least risk of connectivity losses. In this proposal we use existing techniques for multipath load balancing to reconstruct mobile ad-hoc networks to convey heavy traffics and use the multihomed approach to maintain connectivity with at least two point of attachment (PA) inside a cellular domain. This leads to a discussion about routing inside the cellular domain and the effect is modelled by a new mathematical and simulative framework for quantifying the overhead of reactive routing protocols such as dynamic source routing (DSR), multipath source routing (MSR) and ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV) in wireless ad hoc networks with random location of the nodes. A part of the approach talks about the MSR mechanism, which is proposed in L. Wang et al (2001), that is a weighted round-robin heuristic based forwarding and scheduling strategy among multiple routes that minimizes the mean system delivery delay. A queuing model for MSR has been established in Linifang Zhang et al (2002), which incorporates cross-route traffic among multiple paths, and validates the RTT (round trip time)-based heuristic equation in L. Wang et al (2001), where the RTT of each path is obtained by periodic probing. The findings are discussed using the related simulations
