LBAODV: A New Load Balancing Multipath Routing Algorithm for Mobile Ad hoc Networks

摘要

AN AD HOC NETWORK IS COMPRISED OF MOBILE HOSTS WITHOUT ANY WIRED INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT. MULTIPATH ROUTING ALLOWS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MULTIPLE PATHS BETWEEN A SOURCE AND A DESTINATION. IT DISTRIBUTES TRAFFIC AMONG MULTIPLE PATHS INSTEAD OF ROUTING ALL THE TRAFFICS ALONG A SINGLE PATH. IN THIS PAPER, WE PROPOSE A NEW MULTIPATH ROUTING PROTOCOL THAT USES ALL DISCOVERED PATHS SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR TRANSMITTING DATA, BY USING THIS APPROACH DATA PACKETS ARE BALANCED OVER DISCOVERED PATHS AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION IS DISTRIBUTED ACROSS MANY NODES THROUGH NETWORK.
