Introduction to Wireless Multi-Hop Networks -- Routing for Wireless Multi-Hop Networks: Unifying Features -- Routing for Wireless Multi-Hop Networks: Distinguishing Features -- Conclusions and Open Issues
Summary
The focus of this brief is to identify what unifies and what distinguishes the routing functions in four wireless multi-hop network paradigms. The brief introduces a generic routing model that can be used as a foundation of wireless multi-hop routing protocol analysis and design. It demonstrates that such model can be adopted by any wireless multi-hop routing protocol. Also presented is a glimpse of the ideal wireless multi-hop routing protocol along with several open issues
