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 smaller
  • 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:

Contents

[edit] Pro-active (Table-driven)

These algorithms maintain fresh lists of destinations and their routes by distributing routing tables in the network periodically. The main disadvantages of such algorithms are -
1. Bandwidth wastage in transmitting routing tables.
2. Wastage in maintaining routes that are never going to be used in future.
3. Simulations have shown that several proactive algorithms like DSDV are never able to converge in a large network.

Examples of proactive algorithm are -

[edit] Reactive (On-demand)

The protocol finds the route on demand by flooding the network with Route Request packets. The main disadvantages of such algorithms are -
1. Delay in route finding.
2. Excessive flooding can lead to network clogging.

[edit] Power aware

Energy required to transmit a signal is approximately proportional to dα, where d is the distance and \alpha\geq 2 is the attenuation factor or path loss exponent, which depends on the transmission medium. When α = 2 (which is the optimal case), 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 - a fact that follows directly from the inverse square law of physics. This method introduces a delay.
