Current
and Future Work on MANET Routing Protocol:
|
|
|
|
Ø |
Currently
working on new routing algorithm, TB, that finds routes through
|
|
less
loaded areas of network (similar to DSR): higher PDR, lower latency
|
|
|
|
Ø |
TB
uses medium usage (collected at MAC) to determine network load,
|
|
|
need
to study other metrics
|
|
|
|
Ø |
Apply
TB to MESH networks to balance traffic load to APs/Gateways

Future
Work on Linear Programming:
|
|
|
|
Ø |
LP
implicitly finds routes as well – can we use or approximate those?
|
|
|
|
Ø |
LP
does not adequately capture effects of packet loss (senders inject “just
|
|
|
right”
amount of traffic to achieve max. performance) or routing protocol
|
|
|
|
Ø |
LP
is computational complex and does not deal with dynamic scenarios
