Abstract

The advantages of using the multiple rates for wireless communications have been revealed in the recent years. To determine the appropriate rate and to make routing decision more precise, the communication nodes need the information from lower layer. Therefore, in this paper, a high throughput routing protocol using lower layer information for Multi-rate Ad-hoc Networks is proposed. We introduce a new routing metric named "Route Assessment Index" (RAI). The route with maximum RAI value is preferred to achieve the high throughput route, and to avoid the link bottleneck for reducing the packet drop rate. The chosen route also has a small number of hops. The routing protocol works in distributed manner, and correctness of the proposal is proven. The simulation results show that our new metric provides an accurate and efficient method for assessing and selecting the best route in Multi-rate Ad-hoc Networks.
