A MULTI ROUTING ALGORITHM FOR AD-HOC NETWORKS
Mehdi Bahrami, Mohammad Bahrami · 2011
Ad hoc networks are a new wireless networking paradigm for mobile hosts. Unlike traditional mobile wireless networks, ad hoc networks do not rely on a ny fixed infrastructure. In this network, this topologies, allowing people and devices to seamless ly internetwork in areas with no pre-existing communication infrastructure, e.g., disaster recove ry environments. Each node acting as both a host an d a router moves arbitrarily and communicates with othe rs via multiple wireless links. The primary application for ad hoc networks has been for milita ry operations. In this paper we propose new routing algorithms for path energy as an additional metric for routing. The motive behind this effort is to st udy the effect of the added metric on improving the lif espan of the Ad-Hoc communication network and the corresponding effect on the overall network perform ance.
