Abstract

In wireless ad hoc networks, end-to-end delivery over network is a critical concern for routing protocols. The capacity of routing protocols is constrained by the intra-flow interference introduced by adjacent nodes on the same path, and inter-flow interference generated by nodes from neighboring paths. In this paper, we develop an on-demand routing protocol M-AODV-R that solves the channel assignment, reuse and routing problem jointly. The proposed channel reuse scheme and channel assignment scheme can enhance channel reuse rate. This cross-layer design approach can significantly improve the performance of multichannel ad hoc networks over existing routing protocols. Simulation results show that the proposed routing M-AODV-R can effectively increase throughput and reduce delay, as compared to AODV protocol.
