Multipath and Load Balancing Routing Protocol in Multi-radio Wireless Mesh Network

As one of the new self-organizing and self-configuration broadband networks,wireless mesh networks are being increasingly attractive.To enhance the end-to-to performance of networks,the AODV-DM routing algorithm was proposed to find decoupled multipath.However,AODV-DM has low probability of searching out multiple paths,and both of source node and destination node in the multipath can't avoid channel contention.The MR-AODV-DM routing algorithm was proposed to solve the two problems of AODV-DM and enhance end-to-end performances.In addition,a modification of ETX metric combined with load-balancing was proposed.The metric proposed not only reflects the link state of wireless mesh network but also makes the load-balancing.
