Multi-path routing and interface assignment for multi-interface multi-channel MANETs
LI Xiu-qin · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2011
A multi-path routing and interface assignment is proposed for multi-interface multi-channel MANETs.According to the characteristics of wireless devices which can support multi-interface multi-channel,a more efficient routing model is proposed.This proposal,which can provide much better performance,builds multiple paths via different interfaces and channels from the source to the destination,and also builds multiple backup paths.It takes full advantage of the performance of multi-interface multi-channel mobile devices,and is much better to adapt to poignant changes in the network topology,such as MANET.Mathematical analysis and simulation tests indicate that under the premise of other conditions being the same,it provides better performance in end-to-end delay and throughput of network compared with the other routing protocols.What’ s more,it better adapts to multi-interface multi-channel MANETs.
