Abstract

Due to the increasing performance requirements of wireless access services, adaptive interference resistant routing is crucial for providing reliable access and high bandwidth services via wireless mesh networks. In this letter, we propose an improved method for situation-aware routing, which extends the existing routing protocols via a refined situation-aware routing metric and a greedy load-balancing routing scheme. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve a higher throughput with lower transmission delay compared to previous routing schemes.
