A Topology-Aware Routing Protocol for the MANET With Multiple Sinks
Overview In this paper, a topology-aware routing protocol is developed for the Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANET) with multiple fixed Base Stations (BSes). The protocol aims at delivering packets reliably from the source node to its nearest BS. A topology-aware route recovery method is proposed to resolve route failures, and a novel "Majority vote" algorithm is developed to locally update the information about the nearest BS. In addition, as a backup solution to the periodic advertisement, the paper proposes an "On-demand" topology refreshing algorithm, timely updating the network topology at the request of the urgent source nodes.
