Routing in Ad Hoc Networks for Processing Many Short-Lived TCP Connections
Overview Wireless ad hoc network is expected to be integrated with wired networks and many applications will communicate with TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). Many studies have been dedicated to improving the TCP performance over ad hoc networks. However, most of these studies assumed a persistent TCP connection. This is clearly inadequate because many TCP connections are actually short-lived. For such connections, the routing latency in ad hoc networks is considerable. This paper proposes a new ad hoc routing protocol, the Low-latency Hybrid Routing protocol (LHR), that is suitable for a network where many TCP connections are short-lived. According to simulation results, LHR achieves a better performance than other existing routing protocols because LHR can establish TCP connections more quickly than other routing protocols.
