Chapter 7. Node-Centric Hybrid Routing for Wireless Internetworking
Abstract
Multihop packet radio networks (or ad-hoc networks) consist of wire- less routers that interconnect attached hosts without the need of any pre-established communication infrastructure These networks play an important role in relief scenarios, battlefields and conference scenarios where there is no base infrastructure Table-driven or proactive routing protocols can incur excessive signaling overhead in large ad-hoc networks (e.g., networks with hundreds of nodes or more), because each node in the network must maintain routing information for every other network node, even if the node never needs to handle traffic destined for some nodes arid the path between any two nodes in a highly mobile environment changes frequently. Control overhead in proactive routing protocols increases with the size of the network and becomes redundant if the number of communicating peers is much less than the total number of nodes in the network.
