List of ad-hoc routing protocols

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An Ad hoc routing protocol is a convention or standard that controls how nodes come to agree which way to route packets between computing devices in a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET).

In ad hoc networks, nodes do not have a priori knowledge of topology of network around them, they have to discover it. The basic idea is that a new node (optionally) announces its presence and listens to broadcast announcements from its neighbors. The node learns about new near nodes and ways to reach them, and may announce that it can also reach those nodes. As time goes on, each node knows about all other nodes and one or more ways how to reach them.

Routing algorithms have to

  • keep routing table reasonably small
  • choose best route for given destination (this can be the fastest, most reliable, highest throughput, or cheapest route)
  • keep table up-to-date when nodes die, move or join
  • require small amount of messages/time to converge

Note that in a wider context, an ad hoc protocol can also mean an improvised and often impromptu protocol established for a particular specific purpose.

The following is a list of some ad-hoc network routing protocols:

[edit] Power aware

Energy required to transmit a signal is proportional to the square of the distance. Transmitting a signal half the distance requires one fourth of the energy and if there is a node in the middle willing spend another fourth of its energy for the second half, data would be transmitted for half of the energy than through a direct transmission. This however introduces a delay.
