Introduction
nRouting
in wireless Ad Hoc network
ØProactive (OLSR, TBRPF)
ØReactive (DSR, AODV)
nProblems
in Reactive Routing Protocols
ØFinding the shortest path between sender and
receiver by flooding
the requests
ØShortest path leads to network congestion in central areas
ØCaching mechanisms for storing the routes
causes the traffic load
to concentrate on certain nodes
ØTraffic load is unevenly distributed
nOur Solution: route discovery based on perceived network load
