An interference-aware multipath routing protocol in IEEE 802.11 wireless mesh networks

doi:10.7523/j.issn.2095-6134.2010.6.012

Abstract

Abstract:

Based on the 802.11 MAC protocol model this study proposes a novel routing metric IAMM (interference-aware multipath metric) to quantify the inter-path interferences. Based on IAMM, an interference-aware multipath routing (IAMR) protocol is proposed. Through a dual path selection method, IAMR takes into account not only the performance of each single path but also the inter-path interference between selected paths. The result of simulation shows that IAMR significantly improves the performance on transmission throughput, end-to-end transmission delay, and arrival rate of packets.

Key words: multipath routing protocol, interference-aware, wireless mesh networks
