DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The present invention relates to a method for establishing an end-to-end route for traversing data from source to destination through wireless mesh networks. More particularly, the method is a method of incorporating multiple performance metrics into a shortest routing protocol in wireless mesh networks. Hereinafter, this specification will describe the present invention according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. However, it is to be understood that limiting the description to the preferred embodiment of the invention is merely to facilitate discussion of the present invention and it is envisioned that those skilled in the art may devise various modifications and equivalents without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
The following detailed description of the preferred embodiment will now be described in accordance with the attached drawings, either individually or in combination.
Figure 1 illustrates a flow chart showing a method for establishing an end-to-end route for traversing data from source to destination through wireless mesh networks, wherein the method is a method of incorporating multiple performance metrics into a shortest routing protocol in wireless mesh networks. The method includes the steps of determining Expected Transmission Count (ETX) of neighboring mesh nodes, determining Round Trip Time (RTT) of neighboring mesh nodes, sending a route discovery message in a wireless mesh network, receiving the route discovery message, calculating Incorporated Multiple Metrics Value (IMMV) for the route, selecting an optimum path based on the IMMV, saving information of the optimum path in a routing table and sending data packets based on the routing table.
The step of determining ETX further includes the steps of sending a beacon message to the neighboring mesh nodes, receiving the beacon message from at least one neighboring mesh nodes, determining the ETX of the at least one neighboring mesh nodes using the received beacon message and saving the ETX of the at least one neighboring mesh nodes in a table. The step of determining RTT further includes the steps of sending a beacon message to the at least one neighboring mesh nodes, receiving a response from the at least one neighboring mesh nodes, receiving the beacon message from the at least one neighboring mesh nodes, determining RTT of the at least one neighboring mesh nodes and saving the RTT of the at least one neighboring mesh nodes in a table.
For selecting the optimum path using the method, determination of ETX and RTT of neighboring mesh nodes are necessary. If a mesh node is required to send data to another mesh node, the routing table is checked to determine existence of any available path. If at least one path exists, the mesh node sends data through the available path. However, if no path is found to be in existence, a path must be discovered. A mesh node generates a route discovery message and sends the route discovery message throughout the wireless network. Other mesh nodes that do not have capability to reply to the route discovery message receive the route discovery message and forward the route discovery message. Further, mesh nodes that have the capability of responding proceed to generate a reply message and unicast a data packet to the source. A mesh node receives the reply message for the request message that was sent out. If only one path exists between the source node and the destination node, then the same path is a default choice. In the event that multiple paths exist, it now becomes necessary to calculate Incorporating Multiple Metrics Value (IMMV) to select an optimum path. Information related to the selected path is saved in the routing table. A mesh node is now able to send data to another mesh node through the selected path. As each individual routing metric consider some minimum related features, it was difficult to satisfy comprehensive requirements of wireless mesh networks (WMNs) by using a single metric. Multiple performance metrics are used in this method which includes, but not restricted to, a combination of ETX, RTT and traditional Hop Count, which guarantees a minimum hop count with loop free routing and avoiding highly loaded and lossy links. ETX is used to avoid lossy links and RTT is used to avoid highly loaded links.
Since Hop Count (HPC) metric implementation is default with most protocols, therefore implementation of ETX and RTT are described herein. A modified version of ETX is implemented, wherein only loss probability in reverse direction pr is considered to simplify calculation and to keep routing overhead analogous to implemented protocol. Therefore, probability that packet transmission of a link is not successful can be defined from (1 ): p = 1 - (1 - Pr) (1 ) where p denotes a probability that the packet transmission from x to y is not successful. Finally, an expected number of transmissions required to successfully deliver a packet from x to y is denoted by ETX:
Figure imgf000009_0001
The ETX path metric is a sum of the ETX values for each link in that path.
In calculating RTT, a node unicast one probe packet after a specific period, carrying a random timestamp to each of the node's neighbors. Upon receiving the probe packet, each neighbor immediately responds to the probe packet with an acknowledgement probe, echoing that of the timestamp. This enables a sending node to calculate a round trip time to each of the node's neighbors. Subsequently, the RTT value at a specific time, / for a neighbor, is calculated using (3):
Where RTTi_i is an average round trip time for the neighboring node at time i-1 and RTT, is a newly calculated round trip time to the neighboring node. ETX and RTT values are determined using layer 3 beacon messages exchanged among neighboring nodes.
When only one path exists between source and destination, that path is the default choice for the source that initiated route discovery. However, if there are two or more paths, the IMMV is calculated to select a best path among them. The IMMV for a route can be calculated using (4): Γ f KIT . ffPC 't
U.K . KIT UPL
- / v, ρπ, a e,
Where, IMMV, and IMMV, are calculated for route i and j. Among these two paths, the path with the lower IMMV is selected. The route between the source node and destination node is established based on on-demand routing.
Several features had to be considered in designing an efficient routing protocol suitable for wireless mesh networks. Using improved performance metrics, a reliable path is established between source and destination. Minimum hop-count is the metric most commonly used by existing routing protocols. As this approach implicitly assumes that links either work well or do not work at all, this is often true in wired networks. Unfortunately, this is not a reasonable approximation in WMNs, since many wireless links have intermediate loss ratios, interference problems and low throughput. Existing performance metrics were designed but were insufficient to deal with the issues. Since each individual routing metrics consider minimum and related features and is difficult to satisfy comprehensive requirements of WMNs, it is necessary to incorporate multiple performance metrics into a routing protocol to attain optimal performance.
This invention is adapted for use with permanent and non-permanent wireless mesh networks. The disclosed invention is suitable, but not restricted to, for use in performance optimizing of routing and forwarding mechanisms in wireless mesh networks.
