Improvement of WMNs routing method for the purpose of reduction of control communications
Shinya Yano, Kazunori Ueda · 2016
We propose the multiple branch collection routing (MBCR), a routing method for wireless mesh networks (WMNs), and the main purpose of which is to reduce control communications. The virtual address of a node is generated when the node joins a network through MBCR. Nodes that join the network can obtain necessary information only from their neighboring nodes. When data are transmitted to a destination node, each node uses information of its virtual address, and the virtual addresses of its neighboring and destination nodes. However, MBCR does not include a method to retrieve a destination virtual address.
