List of ad-hoc routing protocols
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Ad hoc routing protocol is a convention or standard that controls how nodes come to agree which way to route packets between computing devices in a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET).
In ad hoc networks, nodes do not have a priori knowledge of topology of network around them, they have to discover it. The basic idea is that a new node (optionally) announces its presence and listens to broadcast announcements from its neighbours. The node learns about new near nodes and ways to reach them, and may announce that it can also reach those nodes. As time goes on, each node knows about all other nodes and one or more ways how to reach them.
Note that in a wider context, an ad hoc protocol can also mean an improvised and often impromptu protocol established for a particular specific purpose.
The following is a list of some ad-hoc network routing protocols:
[edit] Pro-active Routing (Table-driven)
This type of protocols maintains fresh lists of destinations and their routes by periodically distributing routing tables throughout the network. The main disadvantages of such algorithms are -
- Respective amount of data for maintenance.
- Slow reaction on restructuring and failures.
Examples of proactive algorithms are -
- AWDS (Ad-hoc Wireless Distribution Service) - Layer 2 wireless mesh routing protocol, LGPL implementation available, http://awds.berlios.de/

[edit] Reactive Routing (On-demand)
This type of protocols finds a route on demand by flooding the network with Route Request packets. The main disadvantages of such algorithms are -
- High latency time in route finding.
- Excessive flooding can lead to network clogging.

[edit] Flow Oriented Routing
This type of protocols finds a route on demand by following present flows. One option is to unicast consecutively when forwarding data while promoting a new link. The main disadvantages of such algorithms are -
- Takes long time when exploring new routes without a priori knowledge.
- May refer to entitative existing traffic to compensate for missing knowledge on routes.

[edit] Adaptive Routing (Situation-Aware)
This type of protocols combines the advantages of proactive and of reactive routing. The routing is initially established with some proactively prospected routes and then serves the demand from additionally activated nodes through reactive flooding. Some metrics must support the choice of reaction. The main disadvantages of such algorithms are -
1. Advantage depends on amount of nodes activated.
2. Reaction to traffic demand depends on gradient of traffic volume.
Example of adaptive algorithms is-

[edit] Hybrid (Pro-Active/Reactive)
This type of protocols combines the advantages of proactive and of reactive routing. The routing is initially established with some proactively prospected routes and then serves the demand from additionally activated nodes through reactive flooding. The choice for one or the other method requires predetermination for typical cases. The main disadvantages of such algorithms are -
1. Advantage depends on amount of nodes activated.
2. Reaction to traffic demand depends on gradient of traffic volume.

ZRP uses IARP as pro-active and IERP as reactive component.
[edit] Hierarchical Routing Protocols
With this type of protocols the choice of proactive and of reactive routing depends on the hierarchic level where a node resides. The routing is initially established with some proactively prospected routes and then serves the demand from additionally activated nodes through reactive flooding on the lower levels. The choice for one or the other method requires proper attributation for respective levels. The main disadvantages of such algorithms are -
1. Advantage depends on depth of nesting and addressing scheme.
2. Reaction to traffic demand depends on meshing parameters.

[edit] Geographical Routing Protocols
This type of protocols acknowledges the influence of physical distances and distribution of nodes to areas as significant to network performance. The main disadvantages of such algorithms are -
1. Efficiency depends on balancing the geographic distribution versus occurrence of traffic.
2. Any dependence of performance with traffic load thwarting the negligence of distance may occur in overload.

[edit] Power Aware Routing Protocols
Energy required to transmit a signal is approximately proportional to dα, where d is the distance and is the attenuation factor or path loss exponent, which depends on the transmission medium. When α = 2 (which is the optimal case), transmitting a signal half the distance requires one fourth of the energy and if there is a node in the middle willing spend another fourth of its energy for the second half, data would be transmitted for half of the energy than through a direct transmission - a fact that follows directly from the inverse square law of physics. The main disadvantages of such algorithms are -
1. This method induces a delay for each transmission.
2. No relevance for energy network powered transmission operated via sufficient repeater infrastructure.
