As the demand for mobile ad hoc wireless network applications grows, so does their use for many important services where reliability and stability of the communication paths are of great importance. Therefore, a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) must be able to establish reliable communication channels which are protected by failure recovery protocols. One approach for existing failure recovery protocols is based on using backup paths, or multi-paths. This technique provides for more stable communication channels for wireless services, in particular for MANET applications. In this work, we explore the use of a more general backup paths, re-establishing broken paths from the last reachable node, and conservative range for neighbor selection to improve the stability of connections and throughput for a greedy routing based multipath routing protocol for MANETs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
