A bi-direction hybrid routing algorithm in Mobile Hybrid Wireless Networks

In this paper, we propose an efficient routing algorithm based on AODV for the Mobile Hybrid Wireless Networks (MHWNs), which consists of the mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and an infrastructure wireless networks (such as cellular networks). In MANETs, the performance of the networks has been greatly challenged by the mobility from nodes and link state changes, while the link in cellular networks remains stable link with the mobile stations. This algorithm for routing construction takes advantage of the features of MHWNs, such as hybrid radio channels and nodes heterogeneity, to accomplish the bi-direction routing discovery on demand. Our results show that the performance of MHWNs is improved in the time and overhead for route path discovery process the under our bi-direction route algorithm.
