Routing in Clustered Multihop, Mobile Wireless Networks With Fading Channel

Abstract

... In this paper, we propose some heuristic routing schemes for clustered multihop, mobile wireless networks. A packet delay improvement up to fourfold has been observed in our simulations compared with shortest-pathscheme, making multimedia traffic viable. A radio channel model has been included to investigate the impact of channel fading on our protocols. To reduce the run time, a parallel simulator has been designed. Speedups of up to tenfold have been observed on a 16 processor SP/2.
