Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we present an on‐demand flow regulated routing algorithm (OFRA) for ad hoc wireless networks. The OFRA consists of two parts: an intermediate node load evaluation process and a routing path selection process. The intermediate node load evaluation process evaluates the load efficiency of the intermediate nodes according to bandwidth, data packets and computing capability. The routing path selection process selects the routing path with lower flow and fewer intermediate nodes. The OFRA can prevent intermediate nodes to be overcrowded and distribute traffic load over routing paths more evenly. The simulation result shows that the percentage of blocked routing paths is reduced and the total flow is more balanced and distributed. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
