Based on the characteristics of the Multi-Channel Wireless Communication Network(MCWN),a MCWN Routing Protocol(MCWN-RP) is designed.The overhead of the protocol is greatly decreased with the multicast diffusion to optimize the diffusion paths,non-retransmission ACK to reduce the packet types,the shortest path tree construction algorithm to lower the diffusion traffic,and the adaptive timer adjusting to avoid network collision.The difference topology update is used to enhance the convergence performance.With the performance analyses of the MCWN-RP's protocol overhead and convergence time,their relationships with the size of topology update packets and the interval of protocol packets are given.The OPNET simulation results show that MCWN-RP is an efficient dynamic routing protocol with much less protocol overhead and shorter convergence time than OSPF and OLSR.
