Dynamic Source Routing Dynamic Source Routing (DSR)(DSR)Full source-route is aggregated in

RouteRequest, and sent back in RouteReply

Each data packet carry the full address for all nodes along the path

Can store Multiple routes to destination

Good for Small/ Low mobility networks

DSR– Route DiscoveryDSR– Route Discovery◦ Source Node broadcast RouteRequest packet◦ Each Intermediate node do the following steps:

If request received before discard If node ID is listed in request discard If Route to the destination is available send

RouteReply to the source node with full path Otherwise append node ID and rebroadcast

◦ When destination is reached return RouteReply with full path

◦ Intermediate nodes cache all paths they overhear◦ Source node caches all paths received and choose

Shortest Path

DSR– Route MaintenanceDSR– Route Maintenance◦ Triggered when a link breaks between two

nodes along the path from the Source to the destination

◦ Node who discover the break send a RouteError to inform the source node about the broken link

◦ Source Node erase the route from the cache, and Use another cached routes, Or Request a new Route

DSRDSRPromiscuous mode, intermediate

nodes learns about routes breaksDuring network partition, if the

destination is in different partition a backoff algorithm is used to prevent frequent RouteRequest broadcast

DSR -- ConcernsDSR -- ConcernsScalabilityLarge overhead in each data

packetNo Local repair of the broken link Stale cache information could

result to inconsistence during route reconstruction

Poor Performance as Mobility increases

Associativity-Based Routing Associativity-Based Routing (ABR)(ABR)Select Longer-Lived routesBeacon based protocol Defining the Location Stability

between nodes◦ Used as a metric instead of shortest hop◦ Determined by beacon counting

Links between nodes classified into Stable and Unstable link according to beacons counts

ABR– Route DiscoveryABR– Route Discovery◦Source Node broadcast RouteRequest packet

◦Each intermediate node do the following steps: If request received before discard If node ID is listed in request discard If route to the destination is available

send RouteReply Otherwise append node ID and Beacon

Count and rebroadcast

ABR– Route DiscoveryABR– Route Discovery◦Destination node

Once get the first RouteRequest, it waits for certain period to receive multiple RouteRequests

From multiple routes, it selects the route with maximum proportion of stable links

If more than one route has the maximum proportion of stable links, the shortest path is selected

Only single route is selected by the destination

ABR – Route MaintenanceABR – Route MaintenanceTry to bypass the broken link without

flooding the RouteRequest globally Downstream node, sends RouteError to the

destination, deleting cache entries along the path

Upstream node broadcasts a RouteRepair with limited time to live◦ If failed, next upstream node broadcast

RouteRepair◦ Is successful, new route is used

If the process traverse near source node, a new RouteRequest is initiated

ABR – ConcernsABR – ConcernsChosen path may not be shortest

pathMay lead to higher delay in route

repairs Single path selectionHigh cost of periodic beaconing

◦Power ◦Bandwidth

Signal Stability-based adaptive Signal Stability-based adaptive routing algorithm (SSA)routing algorithm (SSA)

Derivative of ABR Adds Signal Strength as a prime

metricIn addition to beacon count, each

node keep record of the signal strength of other neighbors

Links are classified as Strong/Stable links vs Weak/unstable links

SSA– Route DiscoverySSA– Route DiscoveryRouteRequests are forwarded through

strong/stable links onlyRouteRequest received through

weak/unstable links are droppedFailed RouteRequest flood route

discovery without Signal strength metric

Destination node,once get the first RouteRequest over stable links, it sends RouteReply

Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV)Vector Routing (AODV)

Source Routing (DSR, ABR and SSA) is good for smaller networks due to large data packet overhead

AODV:◦ Hop by Hop basis◦ No need to include the full path in the data

packet◦ Update Neighborhood information through

periodic beacons

AODV– Route DiscoveryAODV– Route Discovery◦ Source Node broadcast RouteRequest

packet◦ Each intermediate node gets a

RouteRequest do the following steps: Establish a reverse link to node it received the

RouteRequest from If request received before discard If route to destination is available and up-to-date

return RouteReply using the reverse link Otherwise rebroadcast the RouteRequest

◦ Destination node respond with RouteReply using the reverse link

Location Aided Routing Location Aided Routing (LAR)(LAR)Reduce the routing overhead in the

networkSource node flood the request to

certain area where it last heard from the destination

For the first time, it uses normal flood mechanism broadcast to all locations

GPS is required

LARLAR Expected Zone: The region that

may contain the destination based on its previous location, speed and time.

Request Zone: The region that RouteRequest packet are allowed to propagate to reach the destination

LARLAR Two Scheme:

1. Flood the RouteRequest into the request zone only to reach the destination in the expected zone

2. Stores the coordinates in the route request packets, the packets can only travel in the direction where the relative distance to the destination becomes smaller

LARLAR Destination: once receive

RouteRequest from the source, it sends RouteReply with its location and time stamp

Relative Distance Micro-Relative Distance Micro-Discovery ad hoc Discovery ad hoc routing(RDMAR)routing(RDMAR)Reduce the routing overhead in the

networkMinimize the flooding effect by limiting

route request to certain number of hopsUsed in Route Construction and

MaintenanceNo need for GPSAt the first time it works like normal

flooding operation Route discovery will have global effect

Light Wight Mobile Routing Light Wight Mobile Routing (LMR)(LMR)Destination rooted Directed

Acyclic Graph Based of link reversals protocol

Multiple route to the destination ◦no need to initiate another

RouteRequest unless all routes failed ◦Less Overhead

Good for routing in moderate mobile network

LMR– Route DiscoveryLMR– Route Discovery◦Every node is aware of its neighbors ◦Once RouteRequest received by one

of the destinstion neighbors it sends RouteReply

◦As the RouteReply packet traverse back to the source node, DAG is constructed

•S has many routes to D

LMR – Route MaintenanceLMR – Route MaintenanceTriggered, when the last route to the

destination is lost Node around the broken links inform

its upstream neighbor using RouteError packet

The packet informs the neighbors that no valid route exists anymore through the node to the destination

If the upstream neighbor has a route to the destination it sends Routeply packet, the links adjusted

Like LMR based on Link Reversal Algorithms

Solve LMR problem in case of Network partitions by limiting the route maintenance packets to a small region

Adopt the height metricsRequires time synchronization

TORA – Route DiscoveryTORA – Route DiscoverySource broadcast RouteRequest to

the destination Destination sets it height to zero and

transmit an RouteReply packetEach node along the way to the

source increase its height by one and rebroadcasts the RouteReply Packet with its updated heights

trail on the path for others to followForwarding ANT (RouteRequest) calculates a
