Title: Routing Protocol for Wireless Mesh Network Based on Combinative Metric of Link State
Abstract: Although wireless mesh network is one of the most hotspots in wireless network field,the routing protocol standardization is still on the way.Anovel routing protocol for wireless mesh network,MODVWLS,was proposed by using weighted path as routing metric.Each node periodically calculates its weight which is composed of its bandwidth,cache queues and the throughput.MODVWLS chooses the path,which has the smallest accumulative weight from source to destination,as routing path.Weight calculation,message formats,route discovering and maintaining process were also introduced in detail.Several simulations were conducted by ns-2,and the results show that due to the fact that MODVWLS utilizes disengaged nodes sufficiently and balances network load perfectly,it is better than AODV on packet delivery fraction,end-to-end delay and normalized routing load.
