RTRD: Real-Time and Reliable Data Delivery in Ad Hoc Networks
Kai Han, Guanhong Pei, Binoy Ravindran, Hyeonjoong Cho, E. Douglas Jensen · 2008
In this paper, we present a reliable real-time data delivery (communication) mechanism for ad-hoc networks, called RTRD. The mechanism makes use of a proactive wireless routing protocol (DSDV) for path finding and maintenance, and timely delivers data through a priori bandwidth reservation. In addition, to be robust to network failures, or to deliver large data chunks, it simultaneously delivers data in multiple paths. The simulation results conducted by NS-2 validate RTRD's effectiveness.
