Title
An Opportunistic Progressive Routing (OPR) Protocol Maximizing Channel Efficiency
Abstract
In this paper we study the channel efficiency of mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and try to trade off between the progress and the instantaneous rate when forwarding packets in the fading environment. We define a new metric-bit transfer speed (BTS)-as the ratio of the progress made towards the destination to the equivalent time taken to transfer a payload bit. This metric takes the overhead, rate and progress into account. Then we propose an opportunistic progressive routing (OPR) protocol, jointly optimizing routing and MAC by the cross-layer design. In OPR, a node selects the forwarder with the biggest BTS for a packet and the forwarder changes as the packet size or channel status varies. The extensive simulation shows that OPR greatly reduces channel occupation time and packet loss compared with the normalized advance (NADV) scheme and contention-based forwarding (CBF) scheme.
