An Intelligent Route Control Scheme for Multihomed Mobile Networks

Multihomed vehicular mobile networks (NEMOs) require an intelligent route control (IRC) scheme which can enable them to select a routing path that guarantees high quality of communications with correspondent nodes, as well as use the maximum available bandwidth of wireless and radio technologies connecting them to Internet. In this paper, we develop a two-level intelligent route control scheme which enables multi-homed NEMOs to optimally distribute traffic among their mobile routers´ egress interfaces based on a specific mobile routing policy, traffic connections scheduling and routing path performance metrics. The proposed IRC scheme is envisioned to be integrated in the control and management planes of mobile networks. Simulation experiments show that our proposed IRC scheme can improve the CWND of TCP and improve the e2e packet loss of video traffic despite network mobility.
