Segment-by-Segment Based Load Balancing Routing Protocol in MANETs
Yongming Xie · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2010
In Mobile Ad hoc Networks(MANETs) ,the heavy-load nodes may be the network bottlenecks due to the greater congestion or delay,leading to performance degradation. Aiming at the problem,this paper proposes a Segment-by-Segment Based Load Balancing Routing(SSB-LBR) protocol in MANETs. It introduces the concept of load center,calculates the load of the nodes in the region around the load center and constructs virtual loops. It uses the virtual loops to make choice of routings to avoid the load center,realizing load balancing. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol can enable the network load more evenly distributed and have better throughout compared with the previous protocols.
