Abstract

We introduce the virtual paths routing (VPR) protocol for ad hoc wireless networks. VPR provides highly dynamic, correct, and efficient paths creation and maintenance between nodes. Innovatively, the protocol utilizes a technique to monitor the mobility of the nodes, and factorizes it in its operations. VPR is a distributed, on-demand, and adaptive protocol that comprises two phases. The first phase is path discovery, in which VPR discovers and creates a virtual path between source and destination nodes. The second phase is path maintenance, in which the protocol monitors the usability of all active paths.
