A cross-layer routing metric for multihop wireless networks

Abstract

Multihop wireless networks are the promising direction of communication networks. The paper presents an attempt of different authors past experience generalization of routing metrics development. These mertrics based on multihop wireless networks data transmission features. In particular, characteristics of wireless transmission that are recommended to be considered during the design of routing metrics are reviewed. The cross-layer routing metric for multihop wireless networks is proposed. In addition, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the well-known routing metrics created for multihop wireless networks.
