Abstract

A pyramid structure of size n has a diameter of log n, which immediately leads to an optimal routing algorithm, using only parent-child links. However, shortest paths between nodes may be unavailable because of the existence of faulty nodes. On the other hand, there exist many other potential communication paths using links in the associated meshes.In this paper, we present an alternative routing algorithm making use of both mesh links and parent-child links, and study a set of bypassing paths associated with this algorithm.
