Abstract

The existing wireless networks, such as cellular network, personal communication services and mobile Internet protocol use fixed network as their backbones. However in the situations like disaster rescues, wireless conferences in the hall, or battlefields, there exists no fixed communication infrastructure. Therefore, routing to send data packets to their destinations becomes very difficult. Distance vector and link state protocols used in the existing fixed networks are not suitable for supporting host movements. Variations of distance vector protocol, dynamic source routing schemes, and cluster-based schemes have been suggested to solve the routing problem in this entirely wireless network. However, since the link channel resource is very scarce, the routing scheme must consider overall channel utilization as well as host mobility. In this paper, we present a generalized approach called `k-hop cluster-based dynamic source routing'. This approach is simple and can take actions on the host movements quickly.
