Chapter 5 Overview of Ad Hoc Routing Protocols
Since the advent of the DARPA packet radio networks in the early 1970s, numerous protocols have been developed for ad hoc mobile networks. Such protocols must deal with the typical limitations of these networks, which include high power consumption, low bandwidth, and high error rates. As shown in Figure 5.1, these routing protocols may generally be categorized as: (a) table-driven, and (b) source-initiated on-demand-driven. Solid lines in this figure represent direct descendants, while dotted lines depict logical descendants. Despite being designed for the same type of underlying network, the characteristics of each of these routing protocols are quite distinct. The following sections describe ...
