Abstract

We simulated terminode routing as presented in [6]. This routing scheme is designed for wide area networks, where a large part or all the nodes are mobile. Terminode routing is a combination of two protocols called Terminode Local Routing (TLR) and Terminode Remote Routing (TRR). TLR is used to route packets to close destinations. TRR is used to route to remote destinations and is composed of the following elements: Anchored Geodesic Packet Forwarding (AGPF), Anchored Path Discovery (APD), multipath routing and path maintenance. We performed simulations of the TLR and TRR protocols using the GloMoSim simulator. In order to do that, we have implemented a new mobility model that we call “restricted random waypoint”. This model is closer to a real-life situation for a wide-area mobile ad hoc network than the random waypoint model. We performed our simulation on a topology based on towns and highways. Towns are areas that are connected with highways. Inside town areas, terminodes move with the random waypoint mobility model. After a certain number of movements in the same town, a terminode moves to another town. The simulation results for a large, highly mobile ad-hoc environment demonstrate benefits of the combination of TLR and TRR over an existing protocol that uses geographical information for packet forwarding.
