Clustered opportunistic routing protocol for mobile Ad hoc networks
Nenghai Yu · 2008
To efficiently exploit the inherent characteristics of radio channels,a clustered opportunistic routing protocol(CORP) was proposed.CORP forwards a data packet by broadcasting it first,then selects the most appropriate node among those that receive this packet to forward it further.As a result,CORP can use long and unreliable radio links which would not be used by traditional protocols.The experiment results show that the proposed protocol presents significant performance improvements,especially in average transmission numbers and network throughput.
