Multipath routing technique is recognized as one of the effective approaches to improve the reliability of data forwarding. However, the traditional multipath routing focuses only on how many paths are needed to ensure a desired reliability. For this purpose, the protocols construct additional paths and thus cause significant energy consumption. These problems have motivated the study for the energy-efficient and reliable data forwarding. Thus, this paper proposes an energy-efficient cooperative multipath routing protocol with a small number of paths based on an inter path communication. The inter path communication (namely, cooperative multipath routing) in the proposed protocol helps to reinforce the multipath reliability and reduce the use of network resources. In addition, the proposed protocol provides a reliable end-to-end transmission time by using a transmission recovery method based on the local decision for the path or transmission failures.

무선 센서 네트워크에서는 네트워크 부하를 줄이기 위해 다수의 소스 노드가 전송한 데이터를 중간 노드에서 병합하여 전송하는 라우팅 기법을 사용한다. 기존의 DD-G(Directed Diffusion-Greedy) 데이터 병합 라우팅 기법은 데이터 병합 노드의 에너지 효율을 고려하여 단일 경로를 구축함으로써 에너지 소모를 줄일 수 있었다. 하지만 싱크 노드에 근접할수록 에너지 소모가 집중되거나 통신 지연이 증가하는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 부하 분산을 고려하여 다중 데이터 병합 경로를 구축하는 새로운 데이터 병합 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 싱크 노드 주변의 네트워크 부하집중을 분산시키고, 데이터 손실에 대한 재전송 비용을 감소시키기 위해 다중 경로를 이용한다.

In this paper, we propose hierarchical inter-domain load balanced QoS routing in a large scale of network. And a scheme of calculating resources' costs for precomputation schemes in hierarchical routing is proposed. and a scheme for selecting a path among multiple precomputed paths is proposed. We also propose a QoS routing scheme for transit and intra traffic in a large scale of domain-based network. For a domain in the network, the routing scheme first precomputes K multiple paths between all pairs of ingress and egress border routers while considering balancing of the expected load then selects paths with the probability of path selection. The routing scheme combines inter and intra domain routings seamlessly and uses the same cost calculation scheme.

In this paper, we propose MPLO(Multi-Path routing with Local Optimization) for load balancing in the tactical backbone network. The MPLO manages global metric and local metric separately. The global metric is propagated to other routers via a routing protocol and is used for configuring loop-free multi-path. The local metric reflecting link utilization is used to find an alternate path when congestion occurs. We verified MPLO could effectively distribute user traffic among available routers by simulation.

A mobile ad-hoc network is an autonomous system of mobile nodes which are free to move around randomly and organize themselves arbitrarily, hence a routing protocol that handles the dynamic network topology changes is required for the network. In this paper we present a multi -Path on-demand routing protocol called R-DSR (Robust Dynamic Source Routing), an extension to the existing IETF protocol DSR. The proposed protocol has it that every pair of 2-hop away nodes on the single route is additionally connected via an alternative node. Throughout mathematical analysis we show the proposed protocol reveals higher message delivery rate than that of the Das's multi-path protocol, currently known as one of the most typical approaches related to DSR.

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes without any fixed infrastructure or my form of centralized administration such as access points and base stations. The ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV) protocol is an on-demand routing protocol for MANETs, which is one of the Internet-Drafts submitted to the Internet engineering task force (IETF) MANET working group. This paper proposes a new multipath routing protocol called maximally disjoint multipath AODV (MDAODV), which exploits maximally node- and link-disjoint paths and outperforms the conventional multipath protocol based on AODV as well as the basic AODV protocol. The key idea is to extend only route request (RREQ) message by adding source routing information and to make the destination node select two paths from multiple RREQs received for a predetermined time period. Compared to the conventional multipath routing protocol, the proposed MDAODV provides more reliable and robust routing paths and higher performance. It also makes the destination node determine the maximally node- and link-disjoint paths, reducing the overhead incurred at intermediate nodes. Our extensive simulation study shows that the proposed MDAODV outperforms the conventional multipath routing protocol based on AODV in terms of packet delivery ratio and average end-to-end delay, and reduces routing overhead.

Existing multipath routing mechanism has much overhead to maintain the state of nodes on the multipath route and does not guarantees completely disjoint multipath construction from source to destination. In this paper, we propose an Explicit Disjoint Multipath (EDM) routing algorithm to enhance energy efficiency through removing the flooding mechanism for route discovery process, minimizing the number of nodes participating in route update and balancing the traffic load for entire network. EDM constructs logical pipelines which can create disjoint multipaths in logical way. Then it physically performs anchor node based geographic routing along the logical pipeline in order to build multipath to the destination. EDM can provide the distribution effect of traffic load over the network, help to balance the energy consumption and therefore extend the network lifetime.

In mobile ad hoc networks the most popular on demand routing protocols are the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol and the Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. These and other representative standard routing protocols are designed to find and maintain only a single path. Whenever there is a link break on the active route, source node has to invoke a route discovery process from the beginning and it causes a lot of overhead. Multipath routing protocols, which can alleviate these problems by establishing multiple alternative paths between a source and a destination, are widely studied. In this paper we propose a node disjoint multipath discovery technique based on AODV local route discovery. This technique can find and build completely separated node disjoint multi paths from a source to a destination as many as possible. It will make routing more robust and stable.

The mobility of nodes are different in wireless ad hoc networks. Routes have to be refreshed frequently due to the mobility of the nodes acting as routers. Path consists of a few highly mobile nodes should be avoided to forward packets, because even only one highly mobile node may result in the break of path. We develop a mobility aware method to evaluate path stability for multipath routing in wireless Ad Hoc networks. Specifically, we extend it to a well-studied multipath routing protocol known as ad hoc on-demand multipath distance vector (AOMDV). The resulting protocol is referred to as path stability evaluation (PSE). Performance comparison of AOMDV with PSE are studied through ns-2. Simulation shows that PSE has optimistic results in performance metrics such as packet delivery, end-to-end delay, routing overhead and throughput.

Efficient service discovery mechanism is a crucial feature for the usability of a wireless ad-hoc network. A wireless ad-hoc network is a temporal network formed by a collection of wireless mobile nodes without the aid of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. We propose an efficient service discovery mechanism using non-disjoint multi-path routing protocol for a wireless ad-hoc network. Our scheme has advantages of not only multi-path routing protocol but also cross-layer service discovery. By simulation, we showed that faster route recovery is possible by maintaining multiple routing paths in each node, and the route maintenance overhead can be reduced by limiting the number of multiple routing paths and by maintaining link/node non-disjoint multi-path.
