Evaluation on Multi-path Routing Protocol of Ad Hoc Networks

摘要

Mobile Ad hoc network is a mobile, multi-hop wireless network; its main features are dynamic network topology, limited bandwidth, no pre-construction of basic network equipment etc. In such network, the design of network routing protocol is the key issue. Ad hoc network protocols requires the rational use of bandwidth, reduce the cost of establishing and maintaining routes. Quickly find the path to reduce the transmission delay; prevent the routing loop occurs. This article focuses on the realization of multi-path routing methods in ad hoc network and their impact on network performance changes. In the study, we selected currently representative multi-path routing protocol to study and compare, carried on in-depth analysis characteristics and the change of several different methods to achieve multi-path network performance.
