Introduction
n Routing in wireless Ad Hoc network
Ø Proactive (OLSR, TBRPF)
Ø Reactive (DSR, AODV)
n Problems in Reactive Routing Protocols
Ø Finding the shortest path between sender and receiver by
flooding the requests
Ø Shortest path leads to network congestion in central areas
Ø Caching mechanisms for storing the routes causes the traffic
load to concentrate on certain nodes
Ø Traffic load is unevenly distributed
n Our Solution: route discovery based on perceived
network load
