Abstract :
The routing techniques used in conventional packet radio networks are not suitable for dynamic multihop wireless networks because of their unique architecture. In this paper a new hierarchical multihop routing algorithm is introduced which balances the cost of location-update and path-finding operations by partitioning the terminals and mobile base stations to produce a virtual topology. Based on the virtual topology each network entity stores a fraction of the network topology information and maintains the routing efficiency. Finally, the performance of the hierarchical multihop routing algorithm is investigated through simulations
