An Investigation Into the Advantages, Mechanisms, and Developmental Challenges of Scripted Mobile Routing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288333516)

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) routing protocols provide routing solutions in mobile wireless networks, without assuming any prior knowledge of topology nor any prediction of future topology. However, the resulting routes suffer from delay and consume precious bandwidth. Perfectly scripted routing could theoretically be optimal, (i.e., introduce no delay and cost no additional bandwidth), but would naturally be very fragile. This thesis explores a merging of these approaches, following a routing script if and when available, but reverting to a robust recovery approach otherwise. Script-Assisted Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (S-AODV) routing protocol is designed to take advantage of prior knowledge of topology to improve performance in a MANET, better utilizing available bandwidth. S-AODV uses pre-simulation to build a script to substitute for the route discovery process, avoiding delay and bandwidth penalties.
