A simple three-dimensional joint routing and scheduling protocol for multi-hop wireless networks

摘要

Multi-hop wireless networks are becoming more and more advanced in its technology. In this paper we have presented a simple three-dimensional minimum angle (3DMA) routing and scheduling protocol for multi-hop wireless networks. The 3DMA routing protocol is a distributed routing protocol, in which a sender selects the next hop as forwarder/relay node form the set of its neighbors, for sending data packets towards destination, which node makes minimum angle with the reference line drawn from source to destination. We have implemented the 3DMA algorithm in such a way, that it is always loop free and needs minimum number of hops to reach the destination. Through simulation, performance evaluation and result analysis of 3DMA is done by calculating the end-end throughput and Energy Consumption for each sender for sending data packets from source to destination. Analysis of output results are done by changing location of user, destination and nodes of the network.
