Based on the Cross Layer Integrated Metric and Change of the Trigger Mechanism WMN Routing Protocol Design and Simulation
To improve the throughput and transmission quality of routing protocols for Wireless Mesh Networks, this paper presents a cross-layer routing protocol MCL-AODV for the wireless Mesh backbone networks. The protocol takes the quality of MAC layer link, node queue congestion degrees and wireless transmission distance into account through the cross-layer operating system, to optimize the routing selection process by creating a new composite routing metric and reduce the routing overhead of management control by changing the trigger mechanism of HELLO message. Simulation results show that MCL-AODV protocol reduces the average routing overhead and end-to-end delay, improves network throughput and packet delivery ratio.
Keywords: Wireless Mesh Networks; Across-layer design; trigger mechanism of HELLO message.
