The Effect of Multipath Hybrid Routing Protocol in Multihop Cellular Networks
Hitoshi Imai, Hiraku Okada, Takaya Yamazato, Masaaki Katayama · 2006
This paper examines multihop cellular networks. There are some issues in these networks, such as route loss due to topological change and packet errors due to wireless nodes relay. To overcome these issues, we use a multiple route coding scheme in which packets are transmitted on multiple routes from a user node to multiple base stations. This scheme can achieve a diversity gain by combining packets that are transmitted along multiple routes. Some challenges must be met to establish multiple routes for this scheme. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol for multiple route coding. The key idea of this proposed scheme is using a hybrid routing protocol. This can mitigate an increase in control packets and multiple disjoint routes can be constructed. We evaluate the performance of this proposed scheme
