Improving Energy Efficiency in MANETs by Multi-Path Routing
Some multi-path routing algorithm in MANET, simultaneously send information
to the destination through several directions to reduce end-to-end delay. In
all these algorithms, the sent traffic through a path affects the adjacent path
and unintentionally increases the delay due to the use of adjacent paths.
Because, there are repetitive competitions among neighboring nodes, in order to
obtain the joint channel in adjacent paths. The represented algorithm in this
study tries to discover the distinct paths between source and destination nodes
with using Omni directional antennas, to send information through these
simultaneously. For this purpose, the number of active neighbors is counted in
each direction with using a strategy. These criterions are effectively used to
select routes. Proposed algorithm is based on AODV routing algorithm, and in
the end it is compared with AOMDV, AODVM, and IZM-DSR algorithms which are
multi-path routing algorithms based on AODV and DSR. Simulation results show
that using the proposed algorithm creates a significant improvement in energy
efficiency and reducing end-to-end delay
Layer 2 Path Selection Protocol for Wireless Mesh Networks with Smart Antennas
In this thesis the possibilities of smart antenna systems in wireless mesh networks are examined. With respect to the individual smart antenna tradeoffs, a routing protocol (Modified HWMP, MHWMP) for IEEE 802.11s mesh networks is presented, that exploits the full range of benefits provided by smart antennas: MHWMP actively switches between the PHY-layer transmission/reception modes (multiplexing, beamforming and diversity) according to the wireless channel conditions. Spatial multiplexing and beamforming are used for unicast data transmissions, while antenna diversity is employed for efficient broadcasts. To adapt to the directional channel environment and to take full benefit of the PHY capabilities, a respective MAC scheme is employed. The presented protocol is tested in extensive simulation and the results are examined.:1 Introduction
