Connectivity Aware Routing In Ad-hoc Networks
Résumé
Ad-hoc networks that use the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer suffer from severe performance issues because nodes compete to access the wireless channel. In such a context, the network topology has a great influence on the overall network performance. In this paper, we present a connectivity aware QoS routing framework that takes routing decisions with regards to the local characteristics of the network topology. The advantages of the approach is to rely solely on observations made by each node locally and applies with existing MAC layers.
