Dynamic Relationship-Zone Routing Protocol for Ad Hoc Networks

A new dynamic relationship-zone routing protocol (DRZRP) for ad hoc networks is proposed. In this protocol, each node in the network establishes a neighboring-zone with a radius of ρ hops, and activates a relationship-zone according to the service request frequency and service hotspot condition. DRZ...

Description
Summary:A new dynamic relationship-zone routing protocol (DRZRP) for ad hoc networks is proposed. In this protocol, each node in the network establishes a neighboring-zone with a radius of ρ hops, and activates a relationship-zone according to the service request frequency and service hotspot condition. DRZRP establishes proactive routing for neighboring-zone and relationship-zone of the node, and the relationship-zone of the node can be dynamically maintained, including: initialization, relationship-zone activation, and relationship-zone inactivation. The simulation results are compared with LSR, ZRP and ZHLS protocols, and DRZRP greatly reduces the communication overhead of routing control messages and significantly improves the average delay of routing requests. The new protocol matches the service relationship among nodes in the network, and has comprehensive performance advantage in communication overhead and routing request delay, which improves the quality of network service.
