A Wireless Ad Hoc Routing protocol Based on Physical Layer Characteristics

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in wireless ad hoc
network. One of the major issues in wireless network is developing
efficient routing protocol. Based on the concept of designing protocol
model such as OSI model, the designers distilled the process of
transmitting data to its most fundamental elements and identified which
networking functions had related uses and collected those functions into
discrete groups that became the layers. It is not suitable to design wireless
ad hoc routing protocol based on OSI model conception because the OSI
model is developed from the view point of wired network and there are
many different characteristics between wired and wireless environment.
The main different characteristics between wired and wireless are the
mobility of mobile host and the transmission medium. Such differences
have great effect on network performance. Due to the differences between
wired and wireless characteristics, we present a comprehensive
conception of designing wireless ad hoc routing protocol. In this context,
we provide a wireless ad hoc routing protocol based on physical layer
characteristics, ex: bit error rate, robust link. Our routing protocol will
find out a route in good transmission environment and it is efficient to
improve network throughput. Furthermore, our routing protocol will
decrease the number of route request packets, the amount of
retransmissions, link breakage rate, and increase throughput.
