A Cross-Layer Improved Efficient AODV Routing Algorithm
Jun Liu · Chinese Journal of Computers · 2007
To improve the performance of AODV routing algorithm in mobile Ad Hoc networks,the authors adopt the crosslayer method to improve its HELLO message mechanism and present a novel routing algorithm: CLAODV.The algorithm not only changes the controller of HELLO messages from network layers to the MAC layers,but also reduces the quantity and size of HELLO messages.From performance analysis and simulation results,it can be found that CLAODV has many advantages.Compared to the classic AODV algorithm,CLAODV reduces the overhead,improves the efficiency and other performances,such as the throughput,the end-to-end delay and the success ratio.
