Abstract :
In ad hoc networks scalability is a critical requirement if these technologies have to reach their full potential. Most of the proposed routing protocols do not operate efficiently with networks of more than a few hundred nodes. In this paper, we propose an augmented tree-based address space structure and a hierarchical multi-path routing protocol, referred to as augmented tree-based routing (ATR), which utilizes such a structure in order to solve the scalability problem and to gain good resilience against node failure/mobility and link congestion/instability. Simulation results and performance comparisons with existing protocols substantiate the effectiveness of the ATR.
