An adaptive cost function for routing protocols in wireless networks
Seung Hwan Lee, Dong Wook Shin, Seung Hyong Rhee · 2012
Routing protocols have been widely used in wired networks. In wireless environment, however, cost function of the protocol needs to be modified. We propose a new cost function for routing protocol which considers the unstable condition of wireless links: Using BER (Bit Error Rate) of a link, a channel capacity is calculated and is called effective bandwidth. Performance analysis using simulation shows that our cost function can achieve better performances than original one.
