Fault tolerant BeeHive routing in mobile ad-hoc multi-radio network

In this paper, fault tolerance in a multi-radio network is discussed. Fault tolerance is achieved using the BeeHive routing algorithm. The paper discusses faults added to the system as random fluctuations in hardware radio operation. The multi-radio nodes are designed using WiMAX and WiFi Radios that work in conjunction using traffic splitting to transfer data across a multi-hop network. During the operation of this network random faults are introduced by turning off certain radios in nodes. The paper discusses fault tolerance as applied to multi radio nodes that use traffic splitting in the transmission of data. We also propose a method to handle random faults in hardware radios by using traffic splitting and combining it with the BeeHive routing algorithm.
