Abstract

In this paper, we propose an anycast routing scheme for large-scale wireless mesh networks, which requires only one-hop local information with no flooding overhead. We develop an analytical model for anycast mesh networks based on an electrostatic theory. A finite difference method contributes to achieving gateway load balancing with constant control overheads. We verify the performance of the proposed scheme by simulations.

본 논문은 광역 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 1홉 이웃 노드들의 정보만을 이용하는 애니캐스트 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 제안 프로토콜은 물리계 장 이론에 기반하여 설계되었으며 일정량의 제어 패킷만으로 메쉬 게이트웨이의 부하를 분산한다. 분산 알고리즘 구현을 위하여 유한 차분법을 응용한다. 그리고 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안 프로토콜의 특성을 검증한다.
