Routing protocol design based on location in incompletely connected ad-hoc networks
Hong Jiang, Chunju Li · 2008
The traditional routing protocols fail to work in incompletely connected ad-hoc networks and a mobile node may fail to be controlled because the link breaks off in such network. This paper proposes a proactive relay routing mechanism. A node that has packets to send depends on one or more intermediate nodes to relay packets to destination node; source node can maintain communication link between it and destination node through relay nodes. Simulation results show that relay routing mechanism realizes data transmission and increases the data delivery rate of the incompletely connected ad-hoc networks.
