Route discovery optimisation for dynamic sourcerouting in mobile ad hoc networks
Boon‐Chong Seet, Bu‐Sung Lee, Chiew-Tong Lau · Electronics Letters · 2000
A new route discovery optimisation scheme based on unicast queries is proposed that results in as much as a 30% reduction in the number of query packets propagated whenever a new route needs to be discovered. It achieves this by unicasting the query packets along an existing route towards a target neighbour. Simulation results show that a network with a high degree of nodal mobility benefits most from this optimisation scheme.
