A New Method of Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Based on Improved GF Strategy

Abstract

We propose a new mobile ad hoc network routing method based on improved GF (greedy forwarding) strategy in this paper. In the greedy forwarding phase, the reliable communication area is calculated, and then the quality of the link is evaluated according to the relative displacement between the nodes and the maintenance time of the link. Then, according to the quality of the link, the distance from the candidate node to the destination node, and the number of the neighbor nodes, the metric value is obtained, and the node with the large metric value is selected as the next hop. When a routing hole occurs, the waiting forwarding mode is used for a period of time. After a period of time, if the current node is still a routing hole node, the right-hand rule and the left-hand rule are used, and the bypass mode is performed simultaneously. By considering three factors of the deflection angle and the residual energy of the node and the maintenance time of the link, the forwarding node as the next hop with the highest priority value is selected in each direction. According to experiments, the method of this paper has achieved good experimental results.
