An Adaptive Multipath Routing Protocol Based On Load-balanced In Ad Hoc Networks

Ad Hoc network is a wireless network, which can organize itself. It figures wireless transmission, highly dynamic topology, multiple hops and without center. These characters make it have unique advantage in some applications, but at the same time, it gives us many technical difficulties. Routing belongs to these problems and is also one of the hotspot of Ad Hoc networks researching.An adaptive multipath routing protocol based on load-balanced (LBAMR) is presented, in which the block rate denotes the load of a node. The LBAMR protocol takes a novel load computing strategy to build a set of node-disjoint paths and dynamically selects the path with the minimal load as the main path, which is the most important difference between our work and other work on multipath protocol.To validate our LBAMR protocol, we use the wireless network simulation tool GloMoSim to simulate the protocols of LBAMR, AODV and DSR, and analyze the effect to LBAMR of network traffic load, changes of network topology and the number of nodes. Finally, we give the applicable domains of our LBAMR.
