Area Aware-DSDV Routing Protocol on Ad hoc Networking

Ad Hoc 망에서 AA-DSDV 라우팅 프로토콜

Time goes on, Ad Hoc network is hot issues. So far, there are a lot of protocols have been proposed for Ad Hoc routing protocol to support the mobility. This paper presents an enhanced DSDV(Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector) routing protocol which nominates one node to take care of a specific area. Simply Area-Aware(AA) DSDV routing protocol has one nominee to take care of some area. It has two jobs. One is to take care of its neighbour and another is to transfer the routing table to its other node as it works. It is called as Area Nominee(AN). The new scheme extends the routing table to include the nominee in the area. The general node is the same as the previous DSDV routing protocol. In the other hands, the node which is nominated has two routing protocols. One is for Regional Routing(RR) table which is the same routing table in DSDV. Another is Global Routing(GR) table which is about the area round its area which it cares nearby. GR table is the table for the designated node like the nominee. Each area has one nominee to transfer between ANs. It has only nominee's information about every area. This concept decreases the topology size and makes the information of topology more accurate.
