Abstract

To improve communication quality in wireless ad hoc networks, it is definitely important to select stable links as communication paths. To this end, various mobility metrics are presented in the literature. However, the routing loop problem, which is inevitably involved in link-state proactive routing scheme, has not been discussed well. In this paper, we propose a simple dynamic metrics in respect of link stability, which is loop-free throughout dynamic metric transition. Through a theoretical analysis of loop-freeness, we present our new strategy to achieve loop-freeness with sufficiently low cost for ad hoc networks.
